Mr. Duschatko was my Uncle. He served with distinction and honor and was committed to helping his fellow soldiers. He was a very brave man. He also had a son that sadly, he never met. May he rest in peace.

Mr. Duschatko was one of the Brave and courageous men and women to fight the evil of World War II. He didn't want to have to kill, so he became a doctor in order to heal his fellow soldiers. He was well loved by all that knew him. He also left a son, who sadly, he never got to meet. He was a great man in a great generation. May he rest in peace.
