My uncle Florentino Baltazar, seen here with my grandma Lupe and my aunt, Lala, was awarded the Purple Heart when he was wounded in Europe during WWII. The story is that he and his fellow G.I's were shooting dices outside the barracks when bombs started raining on them, they all ran inside the barracks, Florentino didn't make it to the barracks, all the ones that made to the barracks got killed, Florenetino suffer wounds from bomb fragments...Florentino died from cancer in 1995.
