My Dad was 101st, wounded also by a sniper. Spent the next 10 months in hospitals. Later used his GI bill to get his law degree. Lost him in auto accident at age 43 (left behind 10 very grateful kids.)

My Dad also spent 6-7mos in a hospital recovering from a sniper’s chest wound, and used his GI Bill to get his Chemical Engineering degree from Penn State. Mom was Army Nurse (RN) who helped take care of him, they married and moved back to York (PA) where they’d grown-up together. I came along in ‘49, my sis in ‘51. We lost Mom in ‘12 at 87. God Bless our Parents.
