A Hero's Sacrifice My late great-great grandfather, a brave soldier in the 365th Regiment Infantry, 92nd Infantry Division, gave his life in service to our country. He enlisted at a young age and fought valiantly during World War II. Sadly, he did not return home, perishing on November 18, 1944. His memory lives on as a testament to the courage and sacrifice of those who defend our nation. He was awarded the Purple Heart for his extraordinary bravery.
