In WWII he was one the first airborne soldiers that went to war. He participated in Operation Market Garden although in a glider. He told me a story or two that his family had never heard. Like being warned to pick up his feet before the glider landed, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Point of this post is that the family has decided to offer what we have to the museum at Fort Bragg. We are collecting pictures and documents, etc. What we do not YET have is a contact point willing to help us organize the material for presentation to the museum.<\/p>\n<p>We are just beginning this process and it occured to me that some here might be able to offer clues and insight to help the process along.<\/p>\n<p>Coupla pix: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-66594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_1-162x300.jpg\" alt=\"dan1a_1\" width=\"162\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_1-162x300.jpg 162w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_1-180x333.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_1.jpg 737w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-66595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_2-187x300.jpg\" alt=\"dan1a_2\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_2-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_2-208x333.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dan1a_2.jpg 645w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preface: Some time ago I did a post here about my late father-in-law.
