I currently teach American History and am trying to get my students to study WWII through the primary sources of the men who served. John never spoke of the War much, the memories were quite painful for him. I am trying to locate any information on him or his unit. It would be great to have my students explore the War through the eyes of John of his fellow Timberwolves. I would appreciate any help I can get.
