Wow! Your brother was an amazing man. God bless him. I’m guessing you have a special family. Thanks.
I’m 86 and still choke up when I think back to that era as both of my older brothers were drafted in early 1945 plus a sister enlisted in the WACs and the other sister left home to work in a defense plant and our home was suddenly quite and little sister were alone. Brother Werner made the Air Force, Brother Herb was in a combat engineering battalion unit that built the structures that were used on D-Day plus his unit was one of many that put Bailey Bridges across France and sister Wilma worked in a Calif military hospital . Later my two sisters married men that served. One was in a aircorp division that built the first P47 dirt strip behind Utah beach on DD + 7 or 8 and the other fought in 2 or 3 fierce Naval battles in the South Pacific. They all cane home, Married, raised kids and lead normal lives...
