A
Tribute to a Fallen Comrade
From the WW II Memorial
Register of Remembrance, for S/Sgt. Clarence A. (Andy) Flatt,
who was killed in action on Okinawa.
At
the final Reunion of the first 96th Division Association in
Washington, D.C., I learned that most of the men in my unit
had heard of my close encounter when a sniper shot the
telephone out of my hand while I was calling back fire orders
from the O.P. But no one knew of the heroic and
unselfuswh dedication to duty dsiplayed by S/Sgt.
Flatt.
