treatment. Cornelius. 8% noticed
that some of the other patients
were a little low on comfort
items beyond the basics for their
health care.

commander then planned' an
operation.

victory last year when he raised
approximately $7;600 for his
brothers in arms.

raise $15.000 by raffling off an
impressive list of prizes.
The list of prizes includes a
two-night stay at the Pinehurst
Golf Resort in Pinehurst.

commander and a
staff intelligence
officer. During

separation in
November 1945.

shot a sniper before the sniper
was able to shoot anyone else.
and a second medal, for the time
he and his platoon sergeant took
out an enemy fortification.
Both had caused the advance
of his and other units to grind to
a halt south of Rome in 1943.
