VINCENT CACIC - ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM - BOULDER CITY BATTLE

Comments: My uncle is in a nursing home in Wisconsin and my hero. I am trying to get in touch with anyone that may have served with him, just to let him know that he is not alone and maybe he could talk or correspond to any of his "buddies" that knew him. This would mean an awful lot to him and me. Hoping to hear from someone...

He lost touch with him, but like the war has never forgotten him.
