I had the fortunate chance to sit down with my Grandfather a couple years before he passed away to simply sit and listen to some of his experiences during World War II. It was difficult for me when my Grandfather passed away. I was on deployment and was unable to return to attend his funeral. I knew him as a strong and humble individual that farmed his fields in Minnesota. He and I had several exceptional experiences together. The most memorable for me was when he caught the largest fish of his life; a 165 pound Halibut.
Grandpa Cegelske lays out several of the more memorable experiences he had in the U.S. Army during World War II; even the Battle of the Bulge. He conveyed that there are great similarities to today’s “modern” military. My favorite story within this video is the “Bag of Lugers” piece.
