212746 Tech 4th Grade Vincent A Remolete United States Army Up until a few months ago I never knew what my grandfather, Vincent Remolete looked like. He had passed away years before I was born and my father had no physical memories of his father who passed away while he was still a young boy. All I really knew was that he came from the Philippines to NY with his brother around the start of WWII. He eventually came home from war, met my grandmother, had my father and died at a pretty young age from heart issues. For years I thought that was all I'd ever know. Thanks to the internet however we started finding family all over the US and during correspondence with them obtained the photo attached. This was only a few months ago. From here I started researching military records to see what else I could find. I found a POW record belonging to my grandfather on a US Government achieve site. This stated that he was liberated from Camp Stalag 9b in Bad Orb, Germany around 1946 after about a year in captivity. Does anyone remember him? I am interested in any and all info anyone has on life at this camp at the time.
