Harry was best remembered by his sisters. He left a lifelong legacy that will remain in their hearts until they are all reunited again. Their posts were found at the Virtual Vietnam Wall of Faces.

Sister, Fristine, "I remember his visits home on leave. He was so handsome, attentive and strong. I know he took pride in being a soldier from the way he stood to the way he would spit-shine his boots. Every letter written to him, wherever in the world he was, he always replied. No birthday or Christmas ever went ungifted. My father begged him not to reenlist, but his reply was "I have to go back to help my brothers" Harry Lee, "I love" RIP"

Sister, Dr. Grant, "Harry Lee's attributes-giving, caring, smart, artistically creative, athletic, handsome...He was an A student, a basketball and baseball player, a snappy dresser, a handsome man, a great artist, a creative (outside the box) thinker, and a caring (giving) brother."
