My dad, Cornelius "Red" Veldhuis, served with Hank Bauer. After the war, when the Yanks would play the White Sox, Dad would meet with him. He was a little older than Dad. Hopefully this info will help me get some information on Dad's service record. All I know is that he was hit by a hand grenade on April 15, 1945, but was listed as MIA until July of 1945. Somehow communications were messed up and he was really in a hospital. I still have Dad's uniform, a necklace he made from shells as part of his therapy. some photos, postcards, Marine newspaper, etc.

Hope this day finds you well and thank you for the information.
