FAG does not have drop-down menu choice for the correct rank, though this is a common rank - Technician Fifth Grade (abbreviated as T/5 or TEC 5) was a United States Army technician rank during World War II. In many Army units, those who held this rank were addressed as Corporal, though were sometimes called a "Tech Corporal". Technicians possessed specialized skills that were rewarded with a higher pay grade, but had no command authority. The pay grade number corresponded with the technician's rank. T/5 was under the pay grade 5, along with Corporal. Technicians were easily distinguished by the "T" imprinted on the standard chevron design for that pay grade.~Haskell B. Sharpe was the son of Van Everett Sharpe, born in Rattan, Oklahoma in 1915 and married Letha Sellers on December 4, 1953. He was a WW II veteran, serving in the 3rd Army under General Patton. He saw action under heavy fire on D-Day, June 6th, 1944, as well as the Battle of the Bulge. He was the father of daughter Barbara Gail (Amstutz) and son Barry Van Sharpe. He passed away after a long struggle with emphysema in 1969. He was a kind man, a tough but fair father with a great sense of humor and great charm. After more than forty years I still miss him.
