My father, Lyle Leon Sheldon, was a BAR man in the 94th. I know that he was injured in the line of duty with a left shoulder shrapnel wound, and that he had "trench foot" and that parts of his feet were cut off due to the infections.

He received the Bronze Star, but I don't know why he received it. He rarely talked about his wartime experiences, but I don't think that was unusual for his generation.

Any information that you could give me about his wartime service would be greatly appreciated. He passed away in June 1993, and his cremains are buried at the National Cemetary in southern Oregon.

Now that I'm older, I have discovered that I have a real need to connect with his service for our country.
