Death of a Real World Man. 1 Million battle influence offered

Day 1,427, 19:07 • Published in South Africa South Africa • by Chucker71

So in the spring of 1943 a young man left his family farm in West Sparta.
He joined the US Army Infantry to fight in WW2, but when he finished boot camp they sent him to tank school.

The US Army was short tank crews and pulling farm boys into their ranks.

Why because a lot of tanks had transmissions close to tractor transmissions.
He was so good at it so he gain rank and they made him a trainer.

He spent the rest of his military career trainer on every new WW2 tank that came out. In the final push for Europe he was moved and embarked for Europe. The war ended before he made it to Europe.

When he returned he married his high school sweet heart. 6 kids, 12 grand kids, and 9 great grand kids later while still living on his family farm.
After 65 Years of marriage and 90 years of life that old tank trainer passed on that farm.

I will miss you GRANDPA.

The is the only weird thing I can think to do, so on the day we bury the greatest RL Man I ever knew I am going to offer to tank for an eSouth Africa friend for 1 million influence.

PM me offers. What is 1 Million worth to someone? Not sure. I just want it in a battle that needs to be won for freedom like the battle he was willing to fight. But I need a little help to make it happen.
