Military Bio:
I am in the process of collecting info. for Dad's bio.
like many Ex-POW's Dad was one of the silent, who never
talked about the dreadful experience.However,I will do
the best I can to honor his memory and those who helped
him survive the experience.I continue to search for anyone
who assisted Dad as he was in a body cast and later the
leg would not heal,during the walk from,(StalagIV)I know there are Ex-POW's I would
like to thank for my father.Patricia
My Message to Future Generations: Until I can find Dad's note. God Bless Our American Ex-POW's each one of you who gave so much for the Freedoms we enjoy today.May we your children be there for you now, what ever your needs may be,as you have been there for eachother all these years.
