I dont have his seperation papers here, my dad has them. His unit patch is shield shaped white and red with a seahorse in the upper right hand corner.
His name was Richard C Shakerely (T-5) home of record was Ridgefield park NJ.Enlisted in 43 after his brother was killed in the North Atlantic aboard the USS Borrie. He did some training in Conneticut (I think) I have some letters post marked from there. There was a picture of him at the West Point Museum getting off of a boat at Anzio. Some of the pictures we have show desert (North Africa?) He also talked about finding ME 262's in the a cave somewhere.
He also liberated a concetration camp in the Heidleberg Stutgart area? I will get more when I find his seperation papers etc.
Sorry my info is sketchy.
A little bout myself, just got done with a tour in Iraq with 2nd Battalion 108th Inf serving as a medic with Battalion scouts.
Thanks
