I truly appreciate this information, Ron Carlson! Leslie Manske was inducted in july 1944, and Honorably discharged in 04/30/46. If there is any more info I can offer, please don't hesitate to ask. Unfortunately, I did not know this man was my father, until about a year ago. I have now, a new sister and brother, but neither has much of any info regarding his service. I want to honor his WW2 service in any way I can. Thank you so much!!
