This episode of the 501stCast is dedicated to the memory of Joe Price, TD-6117 from the 501st Florida Garrison. A big trooper with a big heart, Joe left this world on March 7th after a long struggle with health issues that rarely kept him from participating in Legion events. We will miss you, Joe. Thank you for all you’ve done for the Legion.
