I'll put my great Uncle on the list, he was in the British Army and drove Crocodile tank, which I think was a Churchill tank with a flamethrower on it. I don't know where he served though.

My grampa Albert Richard Kvorjak senior. He was the chief mechanic(is that it?) on the SawBuster. He was a master sergeant by the time he left, had several decorations and had the plane back in the air within 72 hours(I think) of it returning with damages that should have grounded it.

God damn forums won't confirm my registration. Is anyone here already registered so that these nominations could get in?

Hmm Grandpa Walter WITZ was a bomber and fighter mechanic for our chinese expidition forces. (kinda funny that we sent the japanese against the germans, and our germans against the japanese)

Grandpa William Stockwell was the officer who commanded the Texas Armoured Cal. all Hispanic tank crews against the Japanese....

Corporal Robert Daubert. Served as a driver for the Eight Infantry during the occupation of Germany. Refused to ever talk about what he had seen.
