Fallen Hero


This monument is the war memorial in downtown Cleveland.


This is my cousin Chucky, Charles A. Varkett. I didn't know him, but he is my hero.

On Dec. 1, 1950 he was reported missing.


He died on April 18, 1951 in a Communist prison camp in Korea. He is a hero. He wasn't drafted, he enlisted. He was under age and his mother had to give her permission. Click on the newspaper articles to read them.
