MY FATHER ESCAPED OCCUPIED GERMANY TO COME TO THE U.S. HE WAS IN THE U.S. ARMY BUT NEVER TALKED MUCH ABOUT IT. I KNOW THAT FOR A WHILE HE TAUGHT SKIING AT CAMP HALE IN COLORADO AND WAS ALSO IN THE PHILIPPINES. HE ONCE MENTIONED TO ME THAT HE HAD SPENT SOME TIME AS A POW. HE WAS CARPENTER GENERAL 050 AND RECEIVED THE WWII VICTORY MEDAL, THE AMERICAN SERVICE METAL, THE ASIATIC-PACIFIC SERVICE METAL, THE EUROPEAN-AFRICAN-MIDDLE EASTERN SERVICE MEDAL, THE GOOD CONDUCT METAL AND THE PHILIPPINES DEFENSE RIBBON.
