WORLD WAR II



                                            After our dad retired from the
                                            military, he was able to keep a steady
                                            job, providing a warm roof over our
                                            heads, plenty of food to eat, and
                                            anything else we required in our
                                            endeavors. He has also supported
                                            all veterans throughout his life. He
                                            was a driver for the American Legion
                                            in  Missouri, chauffeuring veterans
                                            from Buffalo to Columbia for medical
                                            treatments, doctor’s appointments
                                            and anything else they needed. Even
                                            with all the issues we hear today
                                            concerning the VA, our dad feels
