Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be in WWII? To wake up everyday and think you may not make it back home, to risk your life for the greatest country on Earth? Well, my great uncle John had those same thoughts going through his head, during his time of service in WWII. He was in a tank battalion that was sent to Italy. John was a technical sergeant, while the remainder of his crew were below the rank of an NCO. He presumed that he was going to serve pretty much the entire war, and he hadn't really minded his job. John had a brother named Albin who was serving in Europe at the time. However, Albin's service and life tragically ended aboard the S.S. Leopoldsville while being sent to Belgium to act as reinforcements
