WWII Through a Grandson’s Eyes

Welcome to Footsteps in History. This Blog follows my journey to uncover the story of my grandfather, a U.S. Army medic with the 280th Station Hospital in World War II. Like many veterans, he never spoke much about his service. Through research, archival digging, and storytelling, I’m retracing the path he walked—one step at a time.
