My dad served with pride and dignity as a CPL. Gun Crewman Medium Artillery 864. He served from 11/5/42 to 12/12/45. He served in many battles that our family was not aware of, my dad was very quiet and did not talk about his over seas tours, except maybe in passing. He served in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes and Central Europe. He was awarded the following: The European African Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Ribbon, The American Theater Campaign Ribbon, The Victory Medal and The Good Conduct Medal. We are very proud of my dad and his military accomplishments.
I am very proud to say that this wonderful man is my father, he has been through a lot in his life and he served proudly. The Marines should be proud and I thank God for him.
