Joe Miskulin

This site is dedicated to the stories of my father. I have the great opportunity to be able to digitally record his stories--as told by him--and give them to the world. These stories cover 9 decades, 16 U.S. presidents, 8 Constitutional Amendments, and a World War. These stories are told by someone who was there. They aren't officially sanctioned or politically correct. They're just true.

The Beginning of a Lesson

In the coming months, this site will become a repository for the stories and memories of Joseph Miskulin.

He’s a man who grew up in Chicago during the 1930s. He knew the legendary gangsters personally. He was there the day Dillinger was found in the alley and saw the body. He enlisted in the US Army during World War II. He fought Rommel’s forces in North Africa. He was a part of the force which took the Anzio beach head. He saw Mussolini hanging in the square in Milan.

He’s been a soldier, a printer, a tile layer, a trucker, a bartender, and an outlaw biker–amongst other things.

It’s my hope that his memories and stories will be a tool that others can use to teach the next generation. These are actual memories–not official textbook propaganda.
