About	George was a Marine LCPL when he died from sniper fire in Vietnam in the province of Quang Nam. He was just 19 years old. He was from Bridgeville, PA. On the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. his name can be found on Panel 2E, Row 48. George was the beloved son of the late Joseph and Louise Verdinek and brother of Mary Louise Bombassaro and Joseph, Robert and the late James Verdinek. Rest in Peace, dear Hero. "Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul...and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother."
