Sgt. Herbert Roach
US Army
from:New York
My father, Herbery Roach was part of the Anzio Beach attack. He was a young man, frightened, strong, and courageous. Ultimately, his captain put him in harms way. He was shot 6 times and spent 2 years in hospitals after the war. He received the Purple Heart for his bravery. He never wanted to talk about his experience. Even as a veteran, he never supported our country going to war again. He was truly a hero in the eyes of his family, never wanting my sons to experience the horror of what he experienced. God bless him.
