Sgt. Dwyer returned to Waterbury after the war to become a fireman. The Questionnaire includes an appendix from the veteran describing how he came to be nominated for the "DSC".
Pvt. Fischman of New Haven, said that he was impressed "that a man, when going 'over the top' is temporarily insane." He served as a prisoner of war for seven months.
Mr. Flynn, who was born in New Haven, wrote in this questionnaire "that United States is a pretty good country to live in and my desire for the romance and glory of war is at an end."
I was anxious to go. Wanted to see what war was like (and did). I would have been ashamed to have been drafted. I saw the need and didn’t believe in waiting for a “personal invitation.”
"I did not expect a picnic and it was what I looked for. The glory of war is all on canvas, but I therefore do not jump to the conclusion that there are not worse evils which only war can overcome."
