This was taken soon after the war was over. My Father was a Staff Sargeant in the army, and<br>has never really spoken about his time overseas. He's always said 'What's in the past is over'. <br>Recently he had been a little more forthcoming with some interesting stories of his service in Germany,<br> Austria and other parts of Europe. <br>After his death yesterday, November 10th, I brought his military discharge papers to the funeral home, which they asked for. <br>Only then did I discover that he led rifle squads into combat in various battles in Belgium and Germany. He never spoke of this!
