Yes. I have a picture of him...typical of that era, I guess. Has a scarf around his neck (tucked in his jacket)...and, am not sure but I think the crossed swords (?) pin on his lapel signify his rank at the time (lieutenant?).
I was told he was awarded two purple hearts. And was declard missing in action for awhile.
I read a letter he wrote home about when they liberated a concentration camp (there were pictures also... terrible-looking)....he said, as near as I can remember... that if they would have got there just one hour earlier they could have saved so many more lives.
