| My Grandfather 'James (Jake) Westmoreland' served in S. Pacific, New Guines, Leyte & Luzon. The South Philippines Campaign & the Luzon Campaign both between 1942-1945. He recieved 2 battle stars, the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre Medal, a Purple Heart, CG Medal & Combat Inf Badge etc and was Honorable discharged due to his injuries end of 1943...His dog tags are made of brass. I have researched his Military career along with official documents I have of his Honorable Discharge paperwork, and WWII Comanche County men & Women of WWII photo book of 1943. My Grandfather was in the Army's 11th Airborne Division, 188th Para Glider Inf. My Grandfather passed away Feb 16th, 2003. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. |
