Testimony: "In the Philippines, I experienced many bombings that were extremely frightening. I received various medals for my service at home and overseas. In Hawaii, Bob Hope and Frances Langford came to entertain the troops, a truly memorable experience for me and everyone else. While in Hawaii I attended a Passover Seder and service, where I was honored with an aliyah. This reminded me of past holidays when I went to the synagogue with my family. While I was gone, I corresponded with my parents in Yiddish. They sent me packages and prayed for my return."
