John McAuliffe, U.S. Army

I had the privilege of asking my dad a few questions about his military service in the Army in 1950s Germany. His memory is not what it used to be, and we used a photo album to help him remember. My dad has a heart for service and thinking of others, and I am grateful for the chance to hear him share, even briefly. voicesofvets.us [https://voicesofvets.us] Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.
