Meet the Enlisted Men
“I served with a group of young, patriotic and daring soldiers. (They) stood up with each other to the end. Sometimes ‘The End’ was of their comrades’ lives in combat, or the ‘Million Dollar Wound’ which sent many of them home." -Cpl. William R. Walter, D Company, 511th PIR
Pfc. Swan, Harry A.
Company G, 511 PIR + Runner, 11th Airborne Honor Guard for Gen. Douglas MacArthur
"While not being from the samurai class, none-the-less, I do recognize great warriors when I see them, and I take great pride in having served with the best fighting men of World War II.”
-1st Lt. Ralph E. Ermatinger, 511 PIR
