Pvt. Edmund A. Lojko Purple Heart
US Army 101st Airborne Division
from:Massachusetts, USA
My Grandfather, Edmund Lojko recently passed away and I am trying to find information on his WWII history. He would seldom talk about it. I know he was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division, Screamin Eagles. He was taken prisoner 3 times, escaped twice, and released at the end of the war from Stalag 4f. I also know that he received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. But I want to know more.
I am looking for anyone who may have known him during the war. I would really like hear any stories and see any pictures, etc.
