    This card says "Greeting's From Germany" from an enlisted man ( a late relative of mine)
    who fought in Europe, during World War II, for the US in the 3rd Armored Division. He was wounded in the
    fighting in Europe, but recovered to join in the occupation of Germany, and later to return home to complete his life after the war.
    He was a relative that I always liked.

    Mother wrote the following about him..."He fought in many battles, but worst was
    'The Battle of the Bulge'. Separated from his company, and lived with family in Belgium for awhile."
    I was told that he was wounded at one point late in the war. He drove a tank.
    After the war he struggled with his feelings about being so close to combat, and being wounded,
    and nearly killed in the war, but I am told that he came to terms with most of these feelings before his death many years later.
