Heroes Among Us: WWII Army Veteran Brought ‘Letters From Home’ To Soldiers Overseas

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Every Friday, in partnership with the Florida Panthers, we put the spotlight on a hero among us, men or women who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.

Today, we’re meeting United States Army World War II Veteran Albert Weintraub.

Albert Weintraub was drafted in 1943 and was part of a new division of the Engineering Corps known as Engineer Aviation.

While there, he was a Message Center Chief and mail clerk. His job was to sort all the mail that would come in to their headquarters, review them and send them out.
