Reply #2: ty riverwalker. I never really knew him, as you probably already

know if you read my first post asking for help with this. Had not even seen him since I was a wee tot until I finally found him dying in the VA hospital. He was way to sick to talk much by that time. I was still just a young air head anyway so never asked his second wife any questions either.

Now, while doing my family genealogy, I realize I know nothing about his service. And to make matters worse, I do not understand anything about Purple Hearts, Clusters or Ribbons. If I am honest, I know little, to nothing, about WWII at all.

I think I have some studying to do in my old age cause I'm sure curious now!

Thanks for your kind words. LS
