General Information:

The hero I have chosen for my project is name Rodney Joseph Best. He held the Rank of Private first class in the 900th Signal Depot Company who's insignia is shown on the left. The serial number he was given on enlistment was 33422296.He was born in Beaver, Pennsylvania in 1916 and died on August 20th, 1944, he would have been 27 or 28 years old at the time of his death. After his death, he was taken to Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial burial site.

My Purpose

I believe the men and women that were killed in combat during World War 2 don't get enough recognition so I have made it my mission on this website to recognize the sacrifice of these young men and what they gave for our freedom.
