  Having five sons in service is somewhat unusual but when four of the sons are home on furlough at the same time that is even more extraordinary. The four servicemen, Major Nick, Staff Sgt. Maurice, Sgt. Neil and Cpl. John, are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Biersteker Main Street, Little Chute. Major Nick Biersteker was commander of the 757th Tank Battalion with the fifth Army and participated in Africa and the Italian campaigns. He was awarded the French declaration, Croix de Guerre with Silver Star. Other decorations include the Bronze star for heroic achievement in action, the Silver Star, European theater ribbon and four battle stars and the American defense service ribbon. He will report to the armored center at Fort Knox Kentucky in August. Staff Sgt. Maurice was home on a five day pass from Lockborne Army air base, Columbus Ohio where he is an aviator engineer. Sgt. Neil left Tuesday to return to the Army base at Hunter Field Georgia, after spending a two-week furlough with his parents. He is a laboratory technician with the medical corps. The youngest member of the Biersteker family representing is service is Cpl. John. He is home on a 60 day furlough after six months overseas, during which time he was reported missing in action and later returned to his unit by escaping from Austria with the help of partisans. He served as a ball turret operator on B-24 bomber. First Lieut. Joseph Biersteker, a navigator on a B-29 is stationed in the Marianas and has completed 29 missions over Japan.
