I've entered his information in the National World War II Memorial website at http://www.wwiimemorial.com. If interested, you can see his info under Keshansky, Johnny, from WIsconsin. Here's a word of heartfelt gratitude and a special prayer of thanksgiving to all of the surviving members of the proud "65th." May God's richest blessing be upon you!
