Grave marker for Stanley H. Mesenbrink in Section R Site
39 of the Willamette National Cemetery, Happy Valley (Clackamas County),
Oregon. Although the marker indicates that
Stanton served with the 513th Parachute Glider Infantry, he was with
Company E of the 508th during WW-II. He was awarded the Bronze
Star Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster as well as the Purple Heart during that
period. The second award of the Purple Heart is not yet documented
but may have also occurred during that time since the marker has no
indication of subsequent service in other combat periods. |
