2. He served in both WWII and the Korean War. As part of the U.S. Army's 106th Infantry Division, Donald was captured in the Dec. 1944 Battle of the Bulge and held in a POW concentration camp, an experience that forever left him questioning "man's inhumanity to man". During his captivity, he was forced to dole out meager amounts of watered- down soup to fellow prisoners, sometimes retrieving it if he'd ladled too much. Such incidents helped shape his future dedication to feeding the hungry.

1. Argil was a Veteran of World War II. He served with the US 159th Army Division in the Pacific. The division was later transferred to Europe where it merged with the US 106th Infantry Division and Argil served 8 months in Europe. Before the merge of the two divisions, the 106th had taken on many casualties during an attack. On December 16, 1944 the German army had served notice on American troops that a full-scale attack had started. This was the prelude to the Belgium Bulge which followed.
