This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Neal Westhoff Charles H. Gnade, Pronounced-(Ga nade ee) Vic and Ken, There’s a man in our parish, his name is Charlie Gnade. He turned 101 yesterday, August 26. He fought in World War II under General Patton. He came into the area where the battle of the bulge was when that battle was over. He’s still pretty sharp. Military Service: He served in the United States Army with the 90th Infantry Division during World War II. Award Recognition: He is reported to have received the Silver Star, one of the U.S. military’s highest decorations for gallantry under fire, awarded under General Orders No. 571 (1945). The Silver Star is awarded for “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States,” marking Charles H. Gnade as someone who likely exhibited extraordinary bravery during combat. Being tied to the 90th Infantry Division connects him to some of the most intense fighting in the European Theater—operations in Normandy, France, and into the heart of Germany.At the age of 19, Charles was drafted into the Army and served 22 months un General George S. Patton. He was a private, first class in the 90th division of the 359th Texas/Oklahoma infantry of the Battle of The Bulge during WWII. He was awarded the Silver Star for single handed capture of prisoners. Grateful for the opportunity to serve his country, he says the world is much different now than when he enlisted. I was proud to serve my country during WWII but I did not go to war to see my country in such divide and turmoil as it is today. It makes me very sad. I didn’t go to war to fight for this he said. For the past 77 years, Gnade has been a member of American Legion in Old Monroe as well as a member of the VFW. In 2022, he was awarded the Unsung Hero Award from the Old Monroe American Legion. Among his top achievements in life, he says being a farmer and making his first communion as well as his married life count for some of his proudest life accomplishments. Charlie has been widowed two times, Marita Hoelting Gnade and second wife Dorothy (Dot) McGee Gnade. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Robert Feeney John Minton and John Michael Minton Vic and Ken, Thank you for telling the story of my great-great-grandfather's story. My wife also has two direct ancestors on her father’s side who fought in the Civil War. Here are the stories of John Minton, her great-great-great-great grandfather and John Micheal Minton, her great-great-great grandfather. John Minton served in five wars spanning fifty years. When John Minton was fifteen, he saw the militia of Liberty County formed to defend Georgia's coast against the British landings in the war of 1812. Twenty-year-old John Minton received the sword and epaulettes of a major in the United States Army in 1817 from the hands of General Andrew Jackson. He had fought gallantly in quelling marauding Creek Indians on the Georgia Frontier with General Jackson and the famous Indian fighter, David Crockett. He was, in 1835, the only man in Liberty County, Georgia to volunteer aid to Texas in their struggle with Mexico. Major Minton brought his wife and children to Roswell, Georgia in 1849, intending to spend the remainder of his years farming. At the onset of the War Between the States, John Minton at the age of 62 enlisted as a private in the Confederate Army, (Georgia 8th, Company E) as did three of his sons. During the First Battle of Manassas, Virginia in July 1861, he was wounded and discharged four months later by disability. He returned home to Roswell and died in 1871. John Micheal Minton was one of three sons who joined the 21st Georgia Cavalry Battalion serving in the Companies B and D. His brothers James Dunwoody and Axson H served in the same unit and companies. The 21st served along the George coastline focusing on reconnaissance, skirmishes, and protecting Confederate supply lines. In February 1864, the 21st and 24th Georgia Cavalry Battalions were merged to become the Georgia 7th Cavalry Regiment. The brothers were part of Company E. The regiment was ordered to Virginia. At the Battle of Saint Mary’s Church near Charles City, Virginia, Axton was wounded and died four days later on 30 June 1864. John and James returned to Roswell after the war, raised families and died in 1888 and 1907, respectively. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Christine Morabito _____________________________________________________________ I am tremendously proud to submit my uncle, Naval Flight Officer, Raymond Vincent DeBlasio Jr. Lieutenant Junior Grade, to be honored by Vic for Vets. I was just 8 years old in 1971, when my family was notified of the tragic crash of his A-3 Skywarrior into the Gulf of Tonkin, off the Vietnam coast. The aircraft suffered mechanical failure and exploded on impact. According to one of his peers, the A-3 was nicknamed “the coffin” because of how difficult it was to get out of. Lieutenant Junior Grade DeBlasio, along with the pilot and another crewmember were listed as Reported Dead/Body Not Recovered. Lieutenant Junior Grade DeBlasio was from West Hempstead, New York. He received military training in the Reserve Officers program at Fordham University and underwent flight training in Pensacola, Florida. He was serving his second tour in Vietnam and was awarded the Vietnam Service Metal, Air Metal and the National Defense Service Metal. He was only 24 when he died. I remember my family being devastated, but it was never talked about. As a child, my uncle's death was shrouded in mystery. I would often sneak into his former bedroom to marvel at the shrine that was built to honor him. My mother and her younger brother, Joseph, are now Lieutenant Junior Grade DeBlasio's only surviving relatives. A[though the chances of recovering his remains are extremely unlikely, the Department of Defense continues to correspond with my family and offer their support. I'm told the Vietnamese Government is also assisting in the effort to recover the bodies of the 2300 Americans Missing in Action from the Vietnam War. I am comforted by the fact that he never had to endure the hostility others faced when returning from their service in Vietnam. Rest in peace Uncle Raymond. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. William “Bill” Sabastian Salfen SUBMITTED BY: A regular listener _____________________________________________________________ Hi Vic and Ken! I hope this veteran will fit nicely into you and Vic's wonderful daily/soon-to-be-weekly tribute to veterans. I hope you can offer some acknowledgement of a local hometown hero from the past. As I stated before, I neither need nor desire recognition for offering his story - if you use it, can you just say a regular listener brought him to your attention? I worked in Bridgeton, Mo for 16 years, which was where I met Bill Salfen. He was a close, longtime friend of the business owner, and was around quite frequently in all of my years working there, dying the same year I left the business in 2014. Bill showed me multiple official documents regarding his service time, his capture and imprisonment, and eventual release. I have no reason to question his words. I spoke with Bill often about his WWII escapades as a B-24 Bomber Pilot who was shot down and captured by Nazis, then imprisoned at Stalag 1 as a POW. There are a couple different articles I've found stating his age (either 20 or 21) at capture, but Bill personally told me he was 20 when he was shot down - according to him (as well as other sources I've seen over the years) he was the youngest bomber pilot (NOT Co-Pilot) in the US Army Air Forces at the time. Regardless...he was just out of his teens, and Captaining (piloting) a US B-24 Bomber against an enemy force! After his war experiences, Bill became very active in Food Search type programs, and had a specially insulated van he would collect groceries in to distribute to the homeless, and to the food banks in the St. Louis area. In his own words, he told me that he did so because during his time in captivity, he found out all about real hunger, and knew firsthand the pain experienced from it. Bill told me that he had wires holding his jaw together from a German soldier "knocking his face loose" with the buttstock of a rifle during his capture, and true to his nature (as I knew him, anyway) he also said that he didn't blame the German soldier; "after all I (we, the US) was killing Germans and their families." Bill had visible scars all over both arms from German Shepard attacks he sustained during both his initial capture and his multiple escape attempts from Stalag 1. He told me he tried 3 times to escape, and was recaptured each time. The tip of one of his fingers was missing up to past the nail where, he told me, they put it in a bench vise and tortured him by squeezing it, then releasing it, then squeezing the damaged fingertip again the next day and the next, until, as he told me, he finally talked and they pinched the damaged fingertip completely off. He was unashamed about talking, and he had nothing to be ashamed of, in my opinion. I feel very honored to have met and known for years this man that I personally consider to be a true American Hero from WWII. He is a 69 year Founding member and first Captain of VFW POST 5077, O'Fallon MO, a 33 year volunteer at Operation Food Search St. Louis MO and St. Mary's Parish Bridgeton, MO, retired Teamster, union negotiator and 17 year subject of Wash U Memory and Aging Study. He donated his remains to that Study and to Washington University School of Medicine. -"William “Bill” Sabastian Salfen was born 16-Sept 1922 in Dardenne, St. Charles County Missouri. -His parents were Sebastian J "Boss" Salfen (1886–1961) and Josephine "Phinnie" Sattler (1893–1974). -He had one brother, Harold. William attended St. Charles High School. According to the Federal Census, the family lived on Main Street in O’Fallon in 1940. -William Salfen joined the Army Air Corps in June 1942. In September 1942, Bill completed a 12-week Flight Training course at Missouri University. " -"On 27-Jun 1943, William arrived at Corsicana Field from the San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center. -William Received his Army Air Corps Silver Wings and 2nd Lieutenant commission at Frederick Field in Oklahoma on 11-Jan 1944. -William Salfen was assigned to the 44th Bomb Group, 506th Bomber Squadron (Heavy) of the 8th Air Force in England. -They were the first 8th Air Force Bomb Group to be equipped with B-24 Liberators. -On 7-Oct 1944, William Salfen’s plane was damaged, and the crew was forced to bailout. The U.S. Army's 44th Bomber Group Crash Report of the bombing states that his aircraft, #789, was last seen in vicinity of Kassel at 1224 hours. #1 and #2 engines had been knocked out by flak and it fell out of formation, under control. It was last heard from at approximately 1239 hours calling on VHF for fighter support." The following is a first-hand report from Lt. Donald B. Iden, the Co-Pilot: “Our plane was nicknamed "LAKANOOKIE", model B-24 (serial #42-50789), and it took flak which disrupted two of its engines. The bombing raid was on a German tank factory. We had just closed the bomb bay doors after releasing bombs over Kassel when our plane took two bursts of flak. One hit the left wing and the other went into the tail section. The hit in the wing took out the #1 and #2 engines, so that made it impossible to keep a heading without complete cross control of ailerons and rudders. Needless to say, loss of altitude was very rapid. We rode it down to 1,500 feet, at which time we bailed out and soon were captured. After Salfen and I bailed out, the aircraft entered a flat spin, crashed and burned. We were told that Robert Doherty's parachute failed to open and the seven-surviving crew of nine were captured by the Nazis.” William Salfen had been missing in action since 7-October 1944 and was a prisoner of war for 188 days. The St. Charles Weekly Banner reported on 24-May 1945, William Salfen in Stalag Luft 1 was liberated by the Russians.

Arianna Porcelli Safonov, oggi scrittrice, autrice comica e storyteller, ha iniziato come project manager di grandi eventi. Titoli roboanti e paga minima: venti ore di lavoro al giorno per 950 euro nella Roma del 2010. Dopo l'ennesima notte in cui apre gli occhi sul sedile di un taxi senza ricordare la destinazione, strozzata dall'“apnea professionale”, decide che l'unico aumento possibile è mollare. Si trasferisce così a Madrid che le restituisce un salario decente e la piena possibilità di goderlo grazie al basso costo della vita. A un certo punto decide di riprovare a vivere in Italia. Non torna a Roma, bensì affitta un fienile in Appennino, in un borgo di sei anime ai confini tra Piemonte, Liguria e Lombardia. È lì, in quello spazio essenziale e silenzioso, che nasce Fottuta Campagna, il libro con cui racconta con disincanto la vita fuori dalle città.In campagna, il suo rapporto con il denaro cambia radicalmente: «Lì ho scoperto che il mio reale guadagno è la mancata spesa. E che c'è una sezione primitiva del nostro organismo che ci consente di sopravvivere anche senza le ciabattine antiscivolo o la piastra per i capelli». Oggi la comicità di Arianna è uno strumento affilato per riflettere su mode, costumi, contraddizioni e assurdità quotidiane. Ma è anche un modo per interrogarsi sul ruolo dell'arte nel presente, in un contesto in cui la libertà espressiva è spesso subordinata alla logica del consenso. «Il problema dell'arte, in Italia almeno, non è la precarietà, ma il fatto di non essere più libera», sottolinea. «Non c'è denaro che possa restituire la libertà di espressione a determinati contesti dove l'arte cerca ancora di fare il proprio. Più che il conformismo trovopericoloso il presunto anticonformismo. Cioè la presentazione che adesso si sta facendo di un contesto accogliente e inclusivo, dove in realtà c'è una censura bianca che è estremamente più pericolosa. Spesso ho avuto anche io la tentazione di autocensurarmi, non per ottenere più lavori, ma sul palco, perché ho sentito la pesantezza di una minaccia non verbale, che accade ovviamente nei contesti istituzionali».
