The Fighting Schan Family

Post by mk1rceme on Mon Jan 23, 2012 4:19 pm

Just found out the other day that my neighbors Grandfather was a Military Medal recipient in WWII. Also, his family holds the record for most enlisted from a single family, 7 men, 1 woman. I've been living next door to him for years and never knew...or at least it never came up in conversation.

Here is a little write up about Leo Schan. Unfortunately no pic of Leo in this link.
