Frank, 106th Transport Battallion- Enduring the buzz bombs with the English, later fighting alongside General Patton's men to relieve the 101st Airborne at Bastogne, crossing the bridge at Remagen, and on into the Rhineland. When he was called to return home in 1946, he had spent a year coordinating the influx of humanitarian aid to those that he just couldn't see as enemies anymore.

.... and thas is only the tiniest piece of the story.

All suffered on all sides.

I honor their memory.

I salute your grandfathers and would like to know more.
