Gee, my dad served under Patton, who knew. He made it a point never to talked about what he did during WWII. All I know about his service in WWII was that he was in Armored. During the Korean War, he became a medic. Retired after 26 years in the Army. He died in 2001.
You had a very courageous and dedicated Father. I know you are very proud of him and his memory.
