OUR FATHER WAS IN PEARL HARBOR AS A COOK WHEN IT WAS BOMBED. AT THE TIME, HE WAS IN THE MESS HALL GETTING READY TO SERVE BREAKFAST TO THE TROOPS. HE CAME HOME FOR NINE MONTHS AND THEN WAS SENT TO THE EUROPEAN FRONT. WHEN WWII WAS DECLARED ENDED, HE WAS FIVE MILES FROM THE CZECHOSLOVAKIA BORDER. OUR DAD RETIRED AS SERGEANT FIRST CLASS AFTER 22 1/2 YEARS OF SERVICING THE U.S. ARMY AS A COOK AND MESS SERGEANT. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR DAD.
