| Military Service | He was United States Military Academy Class of 1942. According to his obituary: Mac was an infantryman. By the time he and Mickie were married, he had been through The Infantry School at Benning, had served in the 81st Division as platoon leader and company executive officer, went through Jump School, and became a company commander with the 513th Parachute Infantry as a first lieutenant. During subsequent months in 1943 and 1944, with Mickie always near, he trained for overseas duty, was Regimental Ammunition Officer and Division Liaison Officer, learning our trade well. On D-Day, Mac was a captain, assistant G2, in the famed 82d Airborne Division. He made his jump deep behind enemy lines in Normandy that day and was involved in actions there which left him grievously wounded in body and spirit. His Army career was over too quickly. “Retirement for disability because of wounds received as a result of enemy action in combat”-a soldier's accolade. | |
