Leading his company in an attack on Henumont, Belgium, he deployed two platoons to attack on the flanks and remained with the third platoon to form a base of fire. The attack was temporarily halted by machine gun and small arms fire from well concealed enemy positions. Realizing that a frontal attack was the only way to accomplish the mission, he jumped up, and charging his men to follow, charged toward the enemy. Only when he was fatally wounded did he stop, but refusing aid, he motioned and directed his men forward until they had crushed the enemy's resistance. GO 1946-048,

2. "Apparently my unit was forced to evacuate. When I woke up in daylight, I seemed to be alone. A German medic found me and took me to a German field hospital where I had surgery and stayed for several days. The hospital was a converted, two-story apartment building." A piece of shrapnel had gone into his right eye, and exited through is left ear. "I had some pretty severe head injuries." He remembers his Belgian roommate.

3. During WWII, Paul enlisted in the Army while he was 17 years of age and still in High School. After his basic training, he was assigned to Company C, 432rd Reg. 106th Inf. Division, which was in the middle of the Battle of the Bulge. Paul was a "runner". The runner's job was to carry communications between the front lines and command posts in the rear. This required him to be frequently exposed to enemy fire, and consequently Paul was wounded twice, earning two Purple Heart medals. His second wound was caused by shrapnel from a German artillery shell and was severe. He was incapacitated by his wounds and left lying unconscious in the snow on the battle field. The front lines were fluid, and neither side was taking prisoners. When Paul regained consciousness, a German soldier had a boot on Paul's wrist and was removing a watch. Fortunately for Paul, he decided not to shoot him and took him to a German military hospital, where he was treated and retained as a POW until he was liberated in 1945. After his liberation, Paul was a patient in a military hospital near his home in San Jose, where he spent two years in recovery. While hospitalized, he earned his High School diploma.
