Barry Cressman was my Uncle. His Father, Barry Sr. was in the Navy and enlisted him. Barry was married in June 1950 just before shipping out. Three months later he was killed. My Father was only 1 year younger and immediately joined the Marines. He never spoke much about his Brother but we all knew he missed him terribly. My Father moved from the Marines to the Army (fighting in Korea and Vietnam)and retired in 1970. My Brother and I both retired from the Army and Air Force respectively. My Nephew is serving in Iraq today. Members of our family have served in every conflict back to the Revolutionary War and many Cressman relatives who stayed in Europe fought on the Axis side in WWI and WWII. I would like to hear from anyone who knew him or know details of his death.
Burial Location: Washelli Veterans Cemetary, Seattle, WA
