So proud of our wonderful hero. Got shot in the leg in Germany fighting against SS Youth. Lived to 97 years old. Never let a false leg stop him. Never felt animosity. War is terrible and these brave young men were so young. He maintained he was one of the lucky ones. God bless the memory of all these brave men
