I was in Belgium from August 1938 to November 1939.
I was able to come across to United States in 1939. An uncle and aunt sent papers. My parents survived, but I lost uncles, aunts, and cousins.
I was drafted into the U.S. Army and fought in World War II from 1942 to 1946. I was in Germany, France, and England. I was a Bronze Star Medal winner for heroism under fire in Germany. I fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I also helped liberate Hoenfels and Bavar camps
