Kenneth L. Sickels, 20

The Daily Press reported that Sickels was the first Apple Valley resident to die in the war. Clifford Lacy told the paper that his stepson, who loved mythology, would have loved a Viking send-off. "They would set a ship on fire and send it out to sea, but we couldn't do that."
