Our Dad enlisted in 1943 after completing his Jr year of HS. Returned home a married man after the war ended and completed his Sr yr of HS. After graduation rejoined the Army and spent the next 30yrs serving in the Army with tours in Korea, Vietnam as well as Europe.
After his passing and going thru many,many Swisser Sweet cigar boxes (never smoked, only chewed them) did we learn he was a Combat Medic in WWII.
He never spoke about WWII or any of his experiences to us but our mom would often tell us about her experience and struggles during the war as a teenager.
Items we found in the boxes were: Medals, Ribbons, Rings, misc papers/letters + items and over 2 dozen of b&w photographs from WWII.
