Not to be competing with Matt Crain, let's just say "more to the story"..... we have more vets in the family tree.
Grandaddy Rustemeyer served as a chaplain in WWII, the 63rd Infantry division in France and Germany 1944-6. He entered the Army right after Pearl Harbor and enlisted as a 1st LT. and rose to the office as Major (see ID as a Major). He received the Bronze Star for his duty serving and tending the soldiers during one of the major battles, of which there were many. He wouldn't talk about the war when he came home and the rest of his life. He kept a lot of his war correspendence and pictures and I am trying to get in all together for a book. Volunteers welcome.
Grandpa Jack Vaughn served in the Korean War in the 4th Infantry. He was stationed in Germany, protecting the border with Russia. He shot the BIG guns and was known for his great aim!! He tells lots of stories about the days in Germany and how he will never sleep on the ground again....thats where it happened. Ask about it sometime..........
