Gifford Doxsee, 88, of Athens, Ohio said his organization folded into the Fairfield Buckeye Chapter 4 in Logan.  He was captured at the Battle of the Bulge and spent five months doing slave labor for the Germans from December 1944 to May 1945 and was with Kurt Vonnegut, author of "Slaughterhouse Five," for part of the time.

Herman Zerger, 89, of Woodsfield, Ohio spent five months as a POW in five different camps.  He was captured by German SS troopers near the Rhine River in February 1945.  His camp was liberated May 8, 1945.  There were 100 American noncoms there along with hundreds of Russians.
