My Dad

Comments: My father served in the Korean War with the 45th Infantry Division. He is dead now and he is my hero. I could never tell him this when he was alive and He could never talk about what really happened there.

I didn't know him before I was born. But I know the war changed him. War changes people. When one is changed, all persons that they touch are also changed. WAR touched me without me ever being close to it.

My father is Victor Macuga. Any information about him and his experiences would be very well welcomed.

Father Relocated to Thomaston GA, Upson County and married wife (Micki Washam)January 14 1956 or 1957.

Perhaps he mentioned my mothers's name along with the names of his brothers and one sister. Father buried at Upson Memorial Gardens, Thomaston GA on October 22, 2001. DOD:October 20, 2001.
