Description

Jake Grit was drafted into the Army in 1943 and fought in World War II. He served in a rifle company in the 9th Division, which he joined as a replacement in September, 1944. He saw action in the Hurtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, at the Remagen Bridge, and in the advance into Germany. Despite the intensity of some of his combat experiences, he did not have enough points to go home right away, and spent several months with the Army of Occupation in Germany.
