My grandparents raised me, my grandfather taught me responsibility and that whatever I do to always do it to the best of my abilities and always see it through to the finish...as a child I thought he knew everything and had been everywhere, he told me about England, France and Germany...always good stories, I never knew why he was there until my teen years..he taught me to fish, shoot, hunt and work...when I turned 18 i joined the military, he told me if that's what I wanted, to at least do it right and join the infantry, AIRBORNE...everything else was just fun and games....lol.....
He was in the 101st ab div.. Until the end of the war... I so wanted him to pin my wings on but he passed away while I was in Infantry school..... I do miss him
