Biography
Dad didn't talk much about the war, but he felt strongly enough about the need to defend his country that he joined the US Army Reserves even after the horrors of combat. He retired at the rank of Lt. Col. in 1974. While he was most proud of his CIB and claimed that his Bronze Star was a mistake, his Bronze Star commendation from Col. Oliver Hughes, September 22, 1944, reads differently.
