Peggy, thanks for this very moving account of the Bernitt men during WW1. I also enjoyed the account of German-Americans in Oregon during that time. My mother, Esther Kraus (Mabry), had similar memories as a German-American girl in the small, mostly German, town of Columbia, Illinois. Some members of her family and people in the community changed their names so that they did not sound so
