Plan "Cy DeYoung' Night for Co. K Veteran, Now Ill
Friend and former service men in Le Mars are planning to do something for Cy DeYoung, a World War II veteran who spent his entire period of service with the Le Mars National Guard Company.
Cy has had a run of rough luck the past year because of poor health. He has been in and out of the Veterans hospital at Sioux Falls a number of times.
The former staff sergeant, who piled up a record of over 500 days in front line combat during his three and a half years overseas with Co. K, worked with his father, Henry DeYoung, as a painter when he first returned from the service.
For three years, until his health made it impossible to continue, he worked as a cook at the Justi cafe, now owned by Walt Johnson.
When he returned last weekend from his most recent trip to the hospital, members of Wasmer Post of the American Legion, and other good friends of his in Le Mars began a good neighbor gesture.
Present plans call for a "Cy DeYoung" party, to be held at the Armory the evening of Dec. 19. Tickets to the event will soon go on sale.
Cy enlisted in Co. K July 2, 1940 and was with the outfit through out the African campaign, and all the way up the Italian peninsula. He was discharged Aug. 7, 1945, and was the next to the last of the original Le Mars contingent to leave the outfit.
In addition to his campaign ribbons and a silver battle star, indication participation in five major campaigns, he was awarded the bronze star medal.
He was married following his return to civilian life, on Aug. 23, 1946, and his family includes three children.
