Military Bio:

As a POW I lost 50 lbs., 190 to 140 lbs. Worked forced labor on Rail Road repairs after they were bombed by allied forces. Also worked in plants building pre fab barracks as well. My happiest day came when I was liberated from the Box Cars. Leo now lives in Ft. Worth, TX with his wife Anita. They have raised 4 children,enjoy 8 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.

My Message to Future Generations: Happiest Day Upon Liberation - was in Box Cars ...
