My dad honorably served his country during World War II as a proud member of the 87th and the 345th Infantry Regiments from 1942-1946. Prior to his enlistment, he was in the National Guard in Virginia. He saw action in many battles and campaigns including the Rhineland, Ardennes and Central Europe. His family is proud of all his awards and decorations including the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster and the Meritorious Unit Commendation.

After V-E Day, he commanded a military government detachment, which supervised the care and welfare of displaced persons. Upon discharge, he continued to serve in the Reserves. My dad would have been 100 years old this year.
