  in death by sisters, Agnes Waibel, Hershey, Margaret Conrad, Lebanon, Delores 
  Leeper, Lickdale, and Elizabeth Wenrich, Fredericksburg. He was most recently 
  employed by Delstar in Richland. After being unemployed and becoming 
  increasingly ill, he retired in September 2009. A military veteran, Charles 
  served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1972. He then enlisted in the U.S. Air

  Tours of duty in both branches included, among others, Korea, Germany, Italy,

  Moving Wall to Lebanon in 1995, and the construction of the Vietnam Veterans 
  Memorial at Fisher Veterans Park in 1997. He became the Chairman of the newly 
  formed Project Welcome Home in 2007 for the tenth anniversary rededication of 
  the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He stepped down as chairman of the organization 
  in 2008. In early 2009, project Welcome Home became a member organization of 
  the Lebanon Veterans Advisory council, where in November 2009, he was elected
