Uncle Felix Herrman – World War II Hero
Frances and Felix Herrman From A Folder Felix Put Together |
Uncle Felix Herrman was the younger brother to by mother Frances Herrman. Growing up I
often heard the family talking about the troubles Felix was having with health
issues, but never really understand what they were saying. They never came out and discussed it directly. At that time, no one talked about the affect war had on young men, it was considered taboo.
It wasn't until several months after his death, when my sister shared a manuscript of his involvement in World War II, South Pacific, that I actually learned the events that shaped this quiet gentle man. Once I started reading, I was hooked and spent the night going through it. He was a combat harden war hero, at a very young age and not a word was every spoken about what he did for his country.

This is his
story, just as he wrote it!

Cemetery Sites
Cemetery Sites can provide a lot of information about your ancestors. However, they can be very hard to find. My sister and I went out one weekend to find as many ancestor's cemetery sites as we could. The weekend trip took us to 8 cemetery's and our find was amazing. We were surprised at the number of Great Great and Great Great Great Grandparents we found. Even though the family tree showed they journeyed to the the states it didn't register until we took the trip and actually visited with them. Well, not really with them but with their sites. Over the next few weeks we'll be posting our photographs to share with you. Check out the link to Cemetery Sites Page.
