My father served in Germany, Belgium and Czechoslovakia. He was an armorer. He maintained quad 50’s and Bofors.
He saw Dachau about 2-3 weeks after liberation.
Then he came back to farm here in Texas and raise his family. A modern day Cincinatus. The family has owned/operated some of the land here for over 110 years.
Some of my ancestors were born in Texas during the Republic.
