Hod gave his veteran oral history in 2012 and I shipped it to the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, from the National Guard Militia Museum of NJ in Sea Girt. Here is the digitized video: https://www.loc.gov/item/afc2001001.96956/

Betty Metz (Housel) passed away in mid-June. Our Greatest Generation is rapidly slipping away. We who remain shall revere them in our memories. But just as important is to pass their greatness in the face of adversity to the generations following so their candle will always burn brightly.
