1923 – 2020
What the federal record states: The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Legacy Memorial carries a page for Warren E. Henke, an Army veteran of the Second World War, born 13 December 1923 and died 19 July 2020. The page lists his decorations: Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal, and Purple Heart. The same federal record places his resting place at Fairview Cemetery, Mishawaka. On that strength — burial here, decorations as the Veterans Affairs record lists them — he stands in this section.
What it does not state: No record reached establishes where Henke was from. The St. Joseph County veterans index, read entire for his letter, carries no Warren Henke — its one Henke is a William R. Henke of South Bend — and no Mishawaka obituary for him was found. This section therefore prints him at exactly the strength proven: a decorated soldier of the Second World War who lies at Fairview, whose hometown the record reached does not give. He is not claimed as a Mishawaka man, and the gap is named rather than filled: the settling sources are his obituary and his service record, neither of which.
