He says he never saw overseas combat while in the U.S. Army Air Force, but he says he fought on two painful battlefields. WFDD’s Real People, Real Stories guest commentator First Lieutenant Harvey Alexander explains. First Lieutenant Alexander left the services in 1944.

First Lieutenant Alexander and his wife live in Greensboro.
