STORY | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Arthur I Silverman was a high school boy like all the other boys who went to do their military service for their country and their allies in this war. Arthur loved the theater, and his cousin Nat, who was 8, saw her play a play at Scott High School, and he remembers very well seeing him on stage with an accordion in his hand, while the others sang Venetian blond. Arthur, after his training and shortly before his departure, had visited Nat and brought him a plane as a gift, and it was the one and only time that he could see him in uniform. He remembers that he noticed on Arthur's jacket a sniper badge which he must have received during his training. Arthur often wrote to his family and Nat and his parents often visited Arthur's parents so that the family could benefit from Arthur's news. Nat also remembers that sad day, when his mother answered the phone with a grave expression, and they all went to Arthur's parents who lived a few blocks away. Yes, he also remembers very well when they arrived at Arthur's parents' cries of Arthur's mom, who had just learned of the death of his only son in the fields of honor. Nat always thought that his cousin had died during the landing because, as he knew that Arthur was of good build, that he could never have run running fast enough to take refuge in the bulletproof shelter. He understood that there had been other deaths, apart from June 6 in other municipalities, when he saw the film "We must save Private Ryan" As for me, I was able to send him photos and video at the grave of his cousin Arthur, whom he never forgot, and he even has a little son who bears Arthur's first name. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Arthur Silverman had written to his mother to send an English French dictionary, because, he said, the little book given by the army to be able to communicate with the French was too fair. So his mother sent him, but unfortunately Arthur never received it because he died before. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
