Mention is made today of MG Maurice Rose of Denver, Colorado, CO of the 3rd Armored Division. He was one of the outstanding tankers of WWII, although he did not get the recognition some others got, perhaps due to the fact he will be killed in battle before the end of the war. He was leading from the front, as usual.

At the time of his death, General Rose was the highest ranking Jewish-American officer of WWII. He was the son and grandson of Polish rabbis.

A group of leaders in the Colorado Jewish community will launch a nationwide fundraising effort to raise the money to build the Rose Medical Center, a place where people would be treated and staff hired without regard to race, religion or national origin. The cornerstone will be laid by Gen. Eisenhower in 1948.

Rose remains an outstanding hospital and is my family's hospital of choice when a need arises.

Very interesting story. I’ve fallen behind a little on the war news; stuff happening out here in 2015.
