This is a photograph of my father, Albert C. Karaso (right) with his pals in Augsburg, Germany, December 1, 1945. His friends are Begley from New Jersey (left) and Kacimar from Pennsylvania (middle). Dad was a Military Policeman (number 677), in the 103rd Division 410th Infantry, in the campaigns in the Rhineland and Central Europe.

He received the following decorations and citations:

1. Good Conduct Medal
   
   
2. American Campaign Medal
   
   
3. European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal
   
   
4. 2 Bronze Stars
   
   
5. World War II Victory Medal
   
   

One of his bronze stars he received for bravery volunteering to carry dynamite on his back on a mission to blow up a bridge. You can see he is wearing his bronze star on his right hand side. He entered the military service on November 28, 1942 and was discharged February 28, 1946.
