7. Blizzard, Nelson G. Kestetter, Joseph Jalkow (85-K)

   * MEMORIAL DAY – JOSEPH JALKOW, by Nelson G. Kerstetter (85-K)
   ** Joseph Jalkow (85-K) was a good guy in my squad. I was the BAR man. Joe told me he could take a BAR apart and put it back together blind folded. He asked the Sgt. if we could trade positions to make him the BAR man. The Sgt. agreed, and so we traded, which may have saved my life. On the morning of April 14th while crossing a field, we encountered a German sniper and both of us went down. A group of GIs over by a bank yelled for Joe and I to run to them. I ran but Joe remained down. Two GIs then ran to Joe and dragged him to cover. But it was too late — Joe had been hit in the stomach and died. The rest of us stood up and fired our rifles at the sniper and killed him.
