I served in WW II as an enlisted man and volunteered and graduated from Infantry OCS in Fontainebleau, France on May 16, 1945. In Europe I discharged thirty-two hundred German soldiers in Bremerhaven, Germany while assigned to the 29th Inf. Div.
I was recalled to active duty in 1951 and served in Korea as a Platoon Leader, Executive Officer, Company Commander, and Bn. S-3. I was on the Island of Koje-do Prisoner of War Camps in Korea when the POW’s rioted. I was “L” Company Commander, and Compound 76 was in my jurisdiction when the POW’s in Compound
76 rioted and captured General Dodd, who was held prisoner underground for weeks.
I was awarded two Bronze Stars for valor.
I have written five books and have done extensive research in Biblical History. I was an Assistant Vice President with a financial institution, and President of an Air Conditioning Co., and owned my own Antique Business for twelve years. I lived in four States and worked in twenty-two. I have been there, done that and seen more than I care to remember. Thank
you God!ver menos
