I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.

I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.

I was a lieutenant in World War II.

I'm a member of the American legion and VFW, patron member of the Jewish War Veterans.

I've served my country.

My father and all my uncles on both sides served in the military in World War II and Korea.

I stayed in the Navy until July of 1946.

I am very proud of my service, and by law, I am defined as a combat veteran.

I served two tours of duty in Vietnam. I won the Bronze Star. I won the Purple Heart.
