World War II Veteran's Tribute, Thank you Dad

Tweet

We lost so many people in wars throughout the years and many states have tributes for these great servicemen and women. My dad was a medic in the United States Army and he was such a small man that they put him in the medics. He never had any experience in medicine but you don't argue with the military when they tell you where they want you. I was only 2 years old when he was sent to Germany to fight in that war. As it turned out, he was in the battle and did get shot. The piece of shrapnel could not be removed for fear of killing him so that stayed in his body until he died. He lived to be 93. The shrapnel did move up in his body but never reached his heart or organs. To this day, a flag still waves in New Jersey in a park with so many other brave men and women. It is 3 years since he died and I still talk to him every day.
