gunnertwo Posted April 28, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2021 The Massengale brothers answered the call of duty in WWII and Korea. Jack was lost on an operational flight in North Africa and his brother Virgil was wounded but survived. Brother Robert was KIA in Korea while serving in the 3rd Inf Div. I have little info on Virgil based on what is in Ancestry and Fold3. G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnertwo Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted April 28, 2021 Thanks Kyle, those groups I've had for over 30 years. Have been meaning to share more now that I'm fully retired. Been at it a while, so long that I've know Kurt since he was a teenager. He's old enough to have some gray hair now. 😎 G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
