Ronder, we have several folks who just impress me every day with their ability to find information on guys you and I have been hunting like crazy. Be patient. One of them will see this and appear! If you have additional info on where he was from, etc. there might be a better chance. Age? Any rank achieved? Things like that can help someone decide if the photo they have might include this person. Good luck!
