Discharge Date

[laurenbeagregory]

He WAS wounded, but I don't know how badly. That is one of the big reasons why I wanted to pull his records. I know he was hit by shrapnel but where on his body, how badly, etc is anyones guess. I spoke to a very kind man who served alongside him and knew him (found him by accident while performing another search for work and oddly the computer froze then pulled up search results for a previous search for grandpas unit and there was an interview with this man and he is still living and sent me a whole mess of information... I think i have a ghost) and he told me that everyone in their unit received a Purple Heart. They were in the battle for the twin villages- krinkelt and rocherath... anyway the discharge date was November 8th 1945... thanks for responding. I really hope this was some sort of an error from when they recreated the file in 1974 or he was home before he was discharged
