John Neel
WWII | Company A, 1st Battalion, 291st Infantry Regiment, 75th Infantry Division
John Neel grew up in Louisiana before going to boot camp in Texas and getting accepted into the Army Specialized Training Program at Brooklyn Tech. However, his time there was cut short for infantry training in Louisiana and Kentucky. When he went overseas, his original post was diverted to Belgium after the Germans broke through.
