I just found out that we lost another WW2 vet. He used to be my neighbor, but I never heard him talk of his service time. He enlisted in the army right after graduation from high school. He served in the European theater and was a Member of the Second Divvision 23rd Infantry Regiment, Company B, during WW2. He was involved in three major campaigns, the Battle of the Bulge, the Ludendorf Bridge and Taking of Berlin. During his service he was a BAR man and fought in Belgium, Germany, France, Luxemburg and Czechoslovakia.

One less of the Greatest Generation. Paul
