Kenneth Edmondson – "A Soldier is Buried in Charleston"

Kenneth Edmondson is comforted by his father Harold at the funeral of his older brother, Harold Jr. He was a 19-year-old Army paratrooper killed in his first combat action in Vietnam. "The Edmondsons are a close family, and God is their guide. 'This life of ours must have meaning,' says Harold's mother, who is a preacher."
