It is my hope that the State of New Jersey can somehow recognize Meskis for his valor and leadership at the breakout at the Anzio Beachhead, something that the military failed to do 57 years ago. I firmly believe he should have been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
Indeed! John, I sure hope you can make this come true for him. Let us know if you need any assistance. I'm sure everyone here would do what they can for Chuck! That was a great letter from this commanding officer!
The commanding officer is Lt. Larry Robertson.
