Thought this of interest to some. My Wife's Dad Morris, who passed in 2008 was awarded the Bronze Star for his heroics in Germany in 1945. Was in a tank crew rolling thru Germany late in the war. Seems he was quite fortunate to have survived, compared to his group of tankers that did not make it home.
The guy NEVER spoke of the war. Was so humble, never bothered to accept the actual Bronze Star in 1945. When he passed in 2008, his son wrote the War Dept. or whoever it was & had a duplicate medal sent which we laid in his casket as an appreciation for what he did & his service.
The picture of the 2 tankers, Morris is on the left.
Reading the details, sounds like something out of the movie "Fury"..Somewhat ironic
