WW2 Veteran, Bronze star Recipient, HQ 20TH Armored Infantry Battalion, 10th Armored Division.
About 6 months after the attack on Pearl Harbord, Marvin is enrolled in the US ARMY. He left for Fort Knox and joined the new Armored Force School Communication class. After his training, he joined the Third Army. His exact unit has yet to be determined, although it is known that he was in the Head Quarter of an armored infantry battalion.
In November 1944, while in Germany, Sergeant GEORGE performed a heroic deed.
His squad had been given a mission: to lay an aerial communications wire under enemy fire for several miles!
While 2 men leaving with Marvin were sent back to the rear, exhausted by German fire, Sergeant GEORGE encouraged the rest of the team to continue laying the last mile of wire on foot when their vehicle got stuck in a ditch.
It was this act of courage that earned him a bronze star.
In 1945, while the young Technicial Sergeant was still serving under the star-spangled flag in the European theater, his young son, Ronald Marvin GEORGE, was born on February 2. He received a V-mail with a photo of his wife holding his son in her arms!
During the war, the young Miamian distinguished himself by his unfailing courage, and was featured in numerous newspapers....
Brave Marvin passed away on February 16, 1984 at the age of 59.
