October 13, 1943, Menasha Record

Naturally, the Menasha Record of this era was awash with news of servicemen's comings and goings during World War II so I was pleased to find this little item about my own family during a scan of the October, 1943 doings around town.  His family was fortunate in that my father wasn't sent overseas during the war and as a result, his folks didn't have the worries and consternation that other families faced.  Still, he was justifiably proud of his service, as am I, all these years later.
