       Charles H. Gnade, Pronounced-(Ga nade ee)

Vic and Ken,

      There’s a man in our parish, his name is Charlie Gnade. He turned 101 yesterday, August 26. He fought in World War II under General Patton. He came into the area where the battle of the bulge was when that battle was over. He’s still pretty sharp. 

Military Service: He served in the United States Army with the 90th Infantry Division during World War II.

Award Recognition: He is reported to have received the Silver Star, one of the U.S. military’s highest decorations for gallantry under fire, awarded under General Orders No. 571 (1945).  
The Silver Star is awarded for “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States,” marking Charles H. Gnade as someone who likely exhibited extraordinary bravery during combat.

Being tied to the 90th Infantry Division connects him to some of the most intense fighting in the European Theater—operations in Normandy, France, and into the heart of Germany.

At the age of 19, Charles was drafted into the Army and served 22 months un General George S. Patton.  He was a private, first class in the 90th division of the 359th Texas/Oklahoma infantry of the Battle of The Bulge during WWII. He was awarded the Silver Star for single handed capture of prisoners. Grateful for the opportunity to serve his country, he says the world is much different now than when he enlisted.  I was proud to serve my country during WWII but I did not go to war to see my country in such divide and turmoil as it is today. It makes me very sad.  I didn’t go to war to fight for this he said.  For the past 77 years, Gnade has been a member of American Legion in Old Monroe as well as a member of the VFW.  In 2022, he was awarded the Unsung Hero Award from the Old Monroe American Legion. Among his top achievements in life, he says being a farmer and making his first communion as well as his married life count for some of his proudest life accomplishments.  Charlie has been widowed two times, Marita Hoelting Gnade and second wife Dorothy (Dot) McGee Gnade.
