Happy Independence Day from the attorneys and staff at Siegel Law Firm đşđ¸
For our team, this holiday is just as much about the 1940s and World War II as it is about 1776.
Below is a map which highlights the nightmare journey of battles fought by the United Statesâ Armyâs 78th Infantry Divisionâknown as âLightning Trike Twiceââin the European Theater of World War II.
Sam Siegel, a Jewish American foot soldier in the U.S. 78th, served his country with courage until he was eventually hit by German shrapnel when he attempted to rescue another soldier during the last N**i offensive of World War II, the Battle of the Bulge. Sam bled outâaloneâon the battlefield for 16 hours, and he managed to survive.
Sam made it home to his wife, Leona, and their two daughters, but with only one leg. Neither his grandson, Joseph Siegel, nor his son, Paul Siegel, would be alive today had Sam not had the strength to survive what he survived.
Anyone in Walterboro old enough to remember Mr. Sam will tell you that he never let those harrowing experiences prevent him from living a life full of serving his family and so many others. While Sam was not an attorney, he was much more than that, and he is the reason that Siegel Law Firm stands today.
Our team is committed to practicing law with the same values and mindset that carried Sam for a lifetime. He helped people who needed it, he cared about them, and he did it one person at a time.
God Bless our Troops
