Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Carlson, 719 10th st ne, Minot, have real cause for rejoicing for their son, Flight Officer Pershing Carlson, who had been a prisoner of war of the Germans since last December, was released by the Russians on May 1 and is on his way home.

Why We Chose It
If you read all the articles, you’ll discover that Mr. and Mrs. C.O. Carlson had son stationed all over the world during the war. We hear stories of this type retold through movies like “Saving Private Ryan” but the fact is this type of whole-family commitment to service and nation was more common we might guess. It is more than worthy of celebration and acknowledgment even all these years later.
