MY FATHER JOINED THE ARMY IN 1941, AT THE TIME THAT THE UNITED STATES JOINED THE WAR. HE SERVED FOR A YEAR AT FORT BRAGG, NORTH CAROLOINA BEFORE BEING SENT TO ICELAND IN 1942, THERE HE EARNED THE RANK OF SEARGENT AND WAS GIVEN COMMAND OF AN ARMY INFANTRY UNIT. FROM ICELAND, HE WAS SENT TO FRANCE UNTIL HE RETURNED HOME AT THE END OF THE WAR IN SEPTEMBER, 1945. MY FATHER EARNED NUMEROUS MEDALS AND HONORS WHILE SERVING THE COUNTRY HE LOVED.
