| According to the rejected 1950 PA compensation form filled out by his widow, he served domestically from Nov 7, 1943 to April 15, 1944. Then, he serving overseas from April 30, 1944 to his death. Perhaps he was too late to train for the D-Day invasion. Honored by Ray Tuleya [2016-01-05 21:27:49] |
