We had the lucky opportunity to talk to Bob Smith from Lebanon PA about his time in the Army Air Corps in WW2. Born in 1924, Bob recently turned 100 years old. During his time in the service, he was in communications doing Morse code, Cryptography, and working radar as time went on. Mr. Smith was part of the Normandy invasion as an assistant on the boats headed to the beach. He explained his duty to clear the boat of those killed getting onto the beach so they could return to ship and bring more men into the fight. Working their way through the European terrain, they ended up in Czechoslovakia. Toward the end of his time overseas, after it was liberated, he explains in detail what it was like inside Buchenwald Prison, a concentration camp located about five miles northwest of the city of Weimar in east-central Germany. Before he left Europe, he married his wife in Belgium who later joined him back in the US.

After his time in the service, Mr. Smith spent time as a TV repairman, which he explains a bit of what that job was like. Eventually he ended up in the National Guard for a period of time.
