Happy 90th Birthday JW Boyde

Happy Birthday JW Boyde,   (that is his first name, JW.)

World War II

JW is my niece in law, Michelle's  Grandfather. He is a true American hero. Born in Texas, he was 19 years old when his country called for his service. He was part of the 104th infantry Timberwolves, during the Battle of the Bulge in late 1944. Wounded, he was sent to Paris, to mend, then back to Europe, on a road on his way to the front,  Jeeps going the opposite direction, were flashing V for victory hand gestures yelling, it was over.  

Back in the United States he was training for jungle warfare near San Luis Obisbo, when the A bomb exploded at Hiroshima. 

My nephew Donovan married Michelle and thus I was introduced to him. A remarkable individual of the 'Greatest Generation'  We often chat about politics, and are both amazed at the power of media to shape the reality of what is being presented, and what is important. 



Happy 90th Birthday JW,

Many Happy Returns

Thank You for your Service
