Remembering 2nd Lieutenant Brents M. Lowry, Jr.

Brents Mynatt Lowry, Jr.

Memorial Day is the US holiday for remembering the people who died while serving in our armed forces.

Although some of my ancestors have served in the military, as far as I know, only one -- 2nd Lieutenant Brents Mynatt Lowry Jr., US Army Air Force -- died in wartime service to our country.

During recent genealogical research, I’ve learned a few things about who he was. Brents was my great-grandmother Mary Frazier Lowry Molloy’s nephew and my 1st cousin, twice removed.

Please honor 2Lt Brents M. Lowry, USAAF this Memorial Day 2016 by reading about his short life.
