William Joseph Lamotte D.O.B: August 23rd 1934
I have spent the past few years researching, "interviewing", reaching out to and/or you name it, I've probably tried to use this, that and all other methods of gathering/learning any and all info and more i can on My Family Tree, Heritage, all related. Not only do I genuinely enjoy doing this and find it so exciting, but i have been trying to put together something to pass along to my Children as well. I recently did a DNA Kit through Ancestry and that has given me some new-ish info and/or potential family matches which is great, BUT the part (or shall i say side) of my Family i have the most difficulties with is my Dad's side- for a couple reasons, 1] we are not close unfortunately and 2) it's very hard to get a lot of the information I am mainly looking for at this time. My Grandfather had, from what I've been told by both my Dad and others, Exceptional Military History, **I APOLOGIZE FOR MY TERMINOLOGY- i was trying to word it correctly :/ in other words, his time in the Military was something not only him and our family should be proud of, but something i have dedicated quite a bit of time to learning more about, unfortunately with not much success.
**BELOW IS ANY/ALL INFO I CURRENTLY HAVE RE: MY GRANDFATHER & HIS TIME IN AIR FORCE/KOREAN WAR**
This is what my Dad could provide me for what he knows. My Grandfather, William Joseph Lamotte (now Senior as my Dad is Junior) D.O.B: August 23rd 1934. Lived in NH as well as VT years back and as a child, I believe. My Grandfather served in the Air Force during the Korean War. He received a Purple Heart after a Bayonet Injury, he was a POW, also received Silver Star. and, my Dad wasn't sure if he had correct terminology, Korean Presidential Medal for saving/helping a fellow soldier. My Grandfather live in NH but he also lived in VT years ago. I'm looking for any Information, Photos, Friends and/or Fellow Soldiers who served with him, Stories, anything would be AMAZING & OF COURSE APPRECIATED!
