David's WWII Experience, WWII Europe:
David was barely 18 as he watched our lady of Liberty fade out of site. Having never been away from home before, he wondered if he would ever see her again or any of his family. His older brother Arnold served in England, aircraft maintenance and Sister Kathrine served in the US military hospitals were also involved but he was going to the front. He removed the deceased from rivers, laid land mines, built bridges, held guard duty all night no matter the weather and suffered pneumonia as a result. David kicked open concentration camp doors and people would fall at his feet and thank him for saving them. They were not protected from any diseases.
