I have a veteran family member who was able to return home to West Point from World War II, who I miss terribly, because he's now gone. Vincent B. Peitz was assigned to the 301st Bomb Group 352nd Squadron of the Army Air Force. In North Africa, where Uncle Vin was, British and American forces had defeated the Italians and Germans by 1943. I had to look it up, but I understand when Uncle Vin speaks of "Jerrys," he is referring to Germans in World War II lingo. Published in the West Point Bee on July 14, 1943.
