I am Thomas Rapsinski the eldest son of George Rapsinski who served in the Army from June 11, 1942 to December 21, 1945. His discharge paper stated that he was discharged from Company I - 7th Infantry Regiment – 3rd Infantry Division. As many WWII Veterans he did not talk about his war experience. I have tried to obtain his service records but they were destroyed by a fire in storage. He was in 6 Battles which included Algeria - French Morocco, Tunisia, Naples- Foggia, Rome – Arno and the Rhineland. I would appreciate any information on my father and his war service.

My father served in the 720th Railway Operating Batallion in WWII from about Dec of 42 until unit returned in Jan 1945. He, like so many WWII vets, did not talk of his service. When he passed away, we found some pictures (and some of death camps), his discharge papers and not a whole lot more. If anybody knows more of this unit, I'd appreciate hearing about it!
