Mr. Ernest suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at his home yesterday morning and was removed to the hospital.

He won seven campaigns stars, the Bronze Star with cluster, the Legion of Merit and the French Croix de Guerre.
His battle stars represent D-Day at Cherbourg, Rome-Arno, Southern France, Holland, the Bastogne, Ardennes and the drop across the Rhine. In those major engagements not one aircraft was shot down by enemy planes.
