Bainter, Gayle Clifford

I consider it an honor to have served under General Eisenhower, and General George Patton in the European Theatre. I first saw action in the Battle of the Bulge, having landed in the same place the invasion forces did, and walking, it seemed, most of the way to Belgium. When the war in Europe ended my unit was just outside of Leipzig, Germany, but had to move back west because we were in the area designated the Russian Sector. The ship that I came home on landed in New York Harbor on Christmas Day, 1945.
