My dad entered the service in February 1942 and graduated from Airborne School at Ft Benning in August. He joined the 82nd Airborne and was in A Company, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. He was in North Africa and jumped in Sicily, Italy and D-Day. He was wounded three times and was in the Battle of the Bulge. He was just a private but made it. Home alive in ’45.
