Default A WWII Veteran

My grandpa served in WWII. He was in Africa and Italy. He served in the 757th Tank Battalion and was a SGT by the time he left.

He was hurt multipule times and his body still holds the scars. He had his neck badly hurt twice(can't even turn it sideways hardly at all, multipule surgurys) and barely has any hearing left in both ears(was in a tank and once a tank was blown up under him, he had the habbit of riding on the top of a tank rather than inside....the rest of the tank cres were killed.)

He is one of many and they are leaving us faster and faster, honor them while you can.
