Paul had a pacemaker put in this morning.  Cal reports that he is doing well.


Update; July 18, 2011
Brother Paul had heart surgery this morning, it lasted over four hours.  They repaired two valves and did two by passes.  I guess he is doing ok.  He will  be in the hospital five to seven days.

Say a prayer for Paul Freehling today as he goes in for heart surgery.

His brother Cal writes, "Brother Paul will be operated on Friday, July 8 at The Bryan Heart Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska.   A valve repair or possible replacement plus two by passes."

World War II Veterans

I received a request to list World War II Veterans on the Blog.  There is a complete list of Dundy County Veterans on the Genealogy Trails - Dundy County site at this link:  http://genealogytrails.com/neb/dundy/military/dundywwii.html

Haigler Veterans are included.

HI SHERRI,

 

NICE REQUEST

 

NICE LIST OF THE MILITARY PERSONELL.  SHOWS HOW DEDICATED THESE MEN WERE TO THEIR COUNTRY.  SOME LIED ABOUT THEIR AGE OR DIDNT FINISH HIGH SCHOOL.   THE LARGE NUMBERS ARE ASTOUNDING FOR A SMALL COMMUNITY AS I KNOW IT.

FUTHERMORE, WERE THE KOREAN WAR, THE VIET-NAM ERA, DESERT STORM, IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN.

I KNOW I SERVED, HAVE MY DISCHARGE PAPERS, BUT DO NOT THINK I AM LISTED AS A VETERAN.  COULD YOU PLEASE FIND OUT FOR ME.  I GOT MY DRAFT NOTICE FROM DUNDY CO. BUT WENT AHEAD AND ENLISTED IN THE ARMY.

MANY OTHERS WOULD PROBABLY WANT THEIR NAME PUBLISHED THAT SERVED, I CAN THINK OF A COUPLE NAMES RIGHT NOW.

 

THANX

 

DALLAS

***

Thanks for the note, Dallas.  Your name is already listed with the Vietnam Vets along with all Veterans that I know about.  If you know of someone who is not listed, please let me know.
