Hobert Winebrenner served in World War II as a young sergeant with the 358th Regiment, 90th Infantry Division. After war, he returned home, to rural Indiana, where he married, raised a family, and got on with life. Yet, as with most combat veterans, the war has always been, and will forever be, a part of him.
