Combat Pay

February 28, 2014: I just got a message from Senator Boxer’s office saying they had received favorable information from the Department of the Army and now they will go to the Armed Forces Committee. This is very good news indeed.

Also Jacob (Jake) Roth, who was with the Tigers in captivity, has been awarded not one but two Purple Hearts for wounds received while a Prisoner of War in North Korea. He was a PFC at the time and after Korea he stayed in the Army and rose to the Rank of Sergeant Major serving a tour in a combat unit in Viet Nam.
