Fritz Luksan

 

FRITZ LUKSAN—Son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Luksan, was drafted into the Army November 7, 1942, was sent to Camp Robinson, Arkansas, where he has been ever since.  He won a sharpshooter’s medal, and is rated an excellent shot with rifle; and is also a machine-gunner.  Fritz has completed his training at Camp Robinson and says he likes the Army, but if he had his choice, he would just as soon be back on the farm, now that spring plowing is coming up.
