Walk Among Heroes is honored to welcome Episode 38 guest, Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Harry Baker. LTC Baker, 102 years-old and a resident of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, served as an artillery officer during World War II in Company C, 302nd Field Artillery Battalion, 76th Infantry Division. He arrived in Europe right as Germany was mounting their largest counterattack of the war, later known as the Battle of the Bulge. LTC Baker and his men landed and immediately moved straight to the front lines. After repelling the German attack and eliminating the ‘bulge,’ the 76th Division advanced eastward into Germany, eventually forcing the Germans to surrender.
Following the war, LTC Baker remained in the Army Reserve and finally retired as a lieutenant colonel. As a civilian, LTC Baker had a wonderful career with Sears & Roebuck, and his proudest accomplishment, a 77-year marriage to Pat, the love of his life. An amazing man with an amazing story. We are so honored to meet him and to share his story.
A special ‘thank you’ to Mike Tarr, Louie Schultz, and Coey Podraza, for helping to arrange this amazing meeting.
