This past July, I was able to meet and interview World War II Veteran, Albert Siewers, in Jupiter, Florida.  PFC Siewers was a medic who served in the Second Armored Division, 130 General Hospital.  PFC. Siewers participated in the campaigns of the Ardennes, Northern France, and the Rhineland. PFC. Siewers was originally scheduled to work in a laboratory position but later chose to act as a medic that oversaw soldiers and their treatment in the hospital that were suffering from combat trauma.  Albert Siewers would later use his war experience to pursue a medical degree and become a practicing psychiatrist.  Please stay tuned for a video excerpt that will be part of our World War II oral history interviews.
