My Father

Master Sergeant Albert Nowak - US Army

Served at Fort Knox during the Korean Conflict 

Trained on Tanks

Thankfully he was kept Stateside by a 4 Star General who made him his Assistant because my Dad knew how to type. 

He was in a Tank during a training exercise when someone in his Tank was killed when it fired and the recoil hit him. 

My Dad opened up late in life, that he was thankful that the General saved him, but emotionally he was upset for years for those that did die in battle or training. 

My Father in Law

Private First Class Jack Benson - US Army

He served in the Marshall Islands during Nuclear testing etc. 

He lied about his age to join the Army.

Although he never attained a higher rank, he served.

I don’t know anything more about his service. He never told my wife or me much of anything.
