Vernon Schmidt - World War II Veteran and Flossenbürg concentration camp Liberator

Vernon Schmidt enlisted in the Air Corps to avoid being drafted. As a sophomore in high school at the time, Schmidt began receiving military training from national guard officers at his school. He was trained to march, performed battle movements, understand the rank decorum, send and receive signals in Morse Code, and was given a brief weapons orientation. At the junior college on his high school's campus, the military build-up and training program could not be avoided. Many training flights flew over his school during the day. As a result of this training and experience, joining the military was not a big adjustment for him physically or in terms of accepting order and discipline. Upon graduating high school in 1943, Schmidt went to Hammer Field to enlist in the Air Corps like his brother. Are you an educator?

Margherita Fray: Survivor of the Italian Resistance in World War II

As a young girl she was raised in a determinedly anti-Fascist family who suffered some deprivations because of this opposition. In her teen years she and her family, as with all Italians, suffered and were witness to the horrors of bombings, executions, and other brutalities perpetrated by home-grown and foreign aggressors. She became a member of the “Resistenza” as a partisan, belonging to a group called the Garibaldi Brigade around her home city of Turin and participated in dangerous missions to support the fighters in the underground for several years. More than once, she put herself in harm’s way for the good of others and for her country. Fortunately, she lived to tell about her experiences even though she is still emotionally distraught over memories of this horrific time. In 1946 she came to America as a War Bride, marrying a man she had briefly met only a year earlier. He promised to return to Italy to marry her, which he did. Her early years as a young woman and mother in a foreign land, married to a deeply flawed man she really didn’t know at all, were unhappy and presented her with many challenges that might have subdued a lesser person. Thanks in part to the strengths from her upbringing and experiences in Italy, she endured and is contented living in Scottsdale, Arizona — except for the fact that her story had remained untold.
