It sounds as if a photo was supposed to be attached to this post, but none was found in the original post.

I'm wondering if anyone remembers my father his name was Ruben Cohen. He was in the 38th and is in the middle of the front row his instrument was the saxophone.
Even though his body and mind aren't the same when he was in WWII his recollection of things that happened are quite extraordinary. If anyone remembers him please contact me and maybe I can set up a call between two or more war buddies.
Till this day he has nothing but the highest of praise and regard for Col. Robert E. Coughlin.
He boxed for the army out of Fort Hancock and Fort Dix.
I remember going with him to reunions at Fort Belvoir and Lancaster. He also helped organize one in NYC approximately 45 years ago.
Till this day he refuses to eat chocolate because that was the main food he ate while serving.
