Per obituary: "He received commendation for his exemplary and magnificent behavior under enemy fire, June 6, 1944, during the invasion of the French coast at Normandy. That commendation issued by the 49th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Brigade further stated, "Through your unselfish and heroic actions you were responsible for saving the lives of wounded comrades by rescuing them from the rising tide on the invasion beach. Your actions under the prevailing conditions bespeak the highest credit to you and to your service." I remember Uncle Wally when I was a little girl. He would come over to visit us. He never spoke about the war.
