PFC. Richard Brooks Kilgore

US Army 2nd Btn. F Coy, 71st Infantry Regiment

from:Lamesa Texas

Richard Kilgore Senior was my Grandfather. He served in the US Army 2nd Battalion, 71st Infantry Regiment in WW2. I knew him as a small farm owner in Seminole, Texas. He passed away in November of 1991. My grandmother, his wife, passed away last year and I am going through her things and found his Presidential Unit Citation pin and bibles sent to her from his training camp in California. I have since found out that he was in the 44th Division, 71st Regiment 2nd Battalion, F Company. I know he came home and gave his medals to his mother and went on back to farming and living. I wish I could ask him about his service. Oh the stories he would tell.

Richard sr. Wife Claudene and son Richard jr.
