The Yanks in the ETO. "Johnny Parks was my buddy. He came from a place in Indiana called Mill Creek and we were members of the same tank crew. Some photographer took this shot of Johnny at a rest area just after we came out of the line. The next thing we knew, there it was plastered all over the front page of Stars and Stripes. Johnny was the "GI of the Year", they daid. He took a lot of kidding but he was proud of it all the same. Then he got killed."
