About Sidney
Sidney was born Feb. 11th, 1919, in New York City. In March 1941, eager to fight the Nazis, he enlisted in the Army, eight months before Pearl Harbor.
Sidney served in the lesser known third theater of combat, CBI (China-Burma-India) as a corporal and medical technician in the 34th Infantry, 8th Division, until the war's end.
Sidney always regretted missing a chance to meet Civil War veterans during the 1939 World's Fair in New York. To make up for this regret, in 2018 he set off with his son Paul on a "No Regrets Tour" to give Americans a last chance to meet a World War II vet before they're all gone.
Sidney hoped to visit all 50 governors in all 50 states, raising awareness for our veterans. He was able to meet 40 governors before his death at age 102.
Sidney met the presidents of the U.S. and France, was honored at the 2020 Super Bowl, birthday on the Today Show, featured on World News Tonight, and received the 2020 Unsung Hero Patriot Award.
