I am looking for some information about my grandfather Arthur Gaddy from Missouri. He was with the 30th division and was lucky enough to make it home. He landed on Omaha Beach 6 days after D-day. Due to German planes strifing the beach, he couldn't get off the beach for a couple of days. He's been to Paris, survived the Battle at St. Lo, made it through the Battle of the Bulge at Christmas 1944, and he made it all the way to the Rhine River. He never crossed the river. I've heard my mom share a little bit of what he did. My grandad I believe became a sergant before the war ended. He cared deeply for his men. He never talked about his experience. I do remember him saying he was upset during a battle where the bombs landed in the wrong place. On researching, I think he was referring to the Battle of St. Lo.
I would love to find someone that knew my grandad so I can at least hear some more stories. Arthur passed away several years ago. I have my own family and I would like to let them know what their great granddaddy did.
(ironically, he made it through the whole war without a scratch. It was after the war ended and some guns were shooting off during celebration that he got some sharpnel in his arm. He tried to not accept the medal saying "give it someone else that deserves it more." Needless to say, you can't argue with the military)
