[Tex1411]

Your comment just made my week. You should be proud. It's terrible he was awarded so late.

My great grandpa served in WW1, in Co D 58th Infantry,4th Infantry Division. He served on the frontlines at Vesle Sector,Toulon Sector,St Mihiel Offensive and Meuse Argonne Offensive. His company were all killed Oct1st 1918 in the forest,and for over 24hrs he was alone and took out 2 machine guns. He was one against hundreds of Germans,then on the night of Oct2nd he was wounded and captured. He was tortured in Rastatt POW Camp for over 2 months. I was finally awarded his Purple Heart this year
