Eulogy:

Reynolds Bello was a beloved son and brother. Bello was shot in the shoulder while on foot in battle. As part of the 507th Parachute Infantry being on foot was common and very dangerous but Bello never backed down from the challenge. He was survived by his siblings, his father, Frank Bello and his mother Clara Bello who was his choice to pick his final resting place. He is buried in Normandy Cemetery in France along with his other brothers in arms. He served his country with honor and courage that will never be forgotten!
