PFC. Lester Earl Goodheart
United States Army 3rd Btn. Darby's Rangers
from:Bloomington, Illinois
I don't know a lot of what my Dad, Lester Goodheart, went through, but I do know he was a member of Darby's Rangers, and was captured during the battle of Cisterna, Italy. He was sent to Stalag IIB. He hardly ever spoke of what he went through, but he did mention working on a potato farm. He received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart among other medals and awards.
