    Notes 
    • Joseph attended the Milligan Public School, but did not graduate. He had to drop out to help support his family. He and his older brother John were living in the household of Fred BIBA at the time of the 1930 census, along with five or six other Czech laborers. Joe was drafted on March 24, 1942, and took his basic training at Camp Barkley, Texas. He was part of the Normandy invasion, landing on Utah Beach on D-Day, at which time he was wounded. He was hospitilized in England for many months afterwords. The medics were unable to assist him until the next day. He was awarded the Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, Infantry Combat Badge, ETO Ribbon with two bronze stars, Victory Ribbon, American Theatre Ribbon, Overseas Bar, three year service bar, and Bronze Arrowhead. After the war, Joseph worked in road construction, which took he and his family all over Nebraska and parts of Kansas. They spent the winters in Milligan with Evelyn's mother, Lillian FRYCEK. (Milligan, p 281).
