I was known as Bert for my life prior to the Army. I am Charles Elbert Monson. My Dad was also Charles. My Dad did not want me called Charles so I was Bert to my family. I still get called Uncle Bert by some.

I came across this newspaper clipping the other day. It was published in the Pomona, California Progress Bulletin in 1944. I was 19. Don't you think that I thought that I was really something? (A hero maybe?)

We can't read the article. Could you tell us some details?
