Platoon Sgt. (Sonny) Howard

I was at a family reunion this weekend talking with my elderly great aunt when she began telling me about a true hero in my family tree. Sgt. Howard of the 22nd Marines, 6th division was my great uncle. He died in May 1945 on Okinawa while attempting to save a fallen comrade from enemy gunfire. I am told he received the prestigious silver star for his actions. I would appreciate it if anyone having information on my great uncle please contact me. Myself and two of his surviving sisters would love the hear about him from his brothers-in-arms. Thank you and God bless.
