My uncle, Helmer Larson, served in France during WWI. He was a farm boy from North Dakota. He showed me a First Aid packet that he wore on his pistol belt and it had a bullet hole through it. He said he was too skinny and "the 'Krouts' couldn't get a bead on me!"

He was passionate about American Legion and very active in Local Post 112, Willow City, ND.
