Harold Bruschwein served in the South Pacific afterwards and won a Silver Star. he said he met some big names along the way.
Before the war started, he was Col. Eisenhower's aide for six weeks before he was sent to Hawaii. he also had drinks with John Kennedy at one point.
He fought at Guadalcanal where he earned his Silver Star for his efforts to organize the rescue a number of soldiers under his command.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
