Lewis remembers those who made the supreme sacrifice

Hytower Lewis is shown here with a wedding photo of himself and his late wife, Dorothy. He is shown at his Country Place Senior Living apartment on Friday, May 10.

 HAMILTON -  For this year’s Memorial Day edition of the Journal Record, I sat down with 20-year Army veteran Hytower Lewis. Lewis, 87, was kind enough to share some of his memories of his time in the United States Army. Lewis served in the Army from 1949 to 1970 and fought in the Korean War and the war in Vietnam.
 
“I have some good memories and some not so good memories,” Lewis said of his time in the service.
