After basic training, he was in the 75th Infantry Division in the European Theater. Severely wounded during battle, Paul was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, the Army Commendation Medal, the Purple Heart, and two Bronze Stars for valor. After being discharged, he entered New Mexico State University under the GI Bill. When the GI Bill ran out in 1949, Paul applied for active duty. His first assignment was Haneda Air Base in Tokyo, Japan. Three years later he was assigned to Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico recieving a degree in business administration under “Project Bootstrap.” Subsequent assignments included Brunswick, Maine, New Jersey, Nevada, Guam, Taipei and several tours in Okinawa, the last being prior to retirement in 1968 as Commander of the Det 3, 51 St Fighter Wing. The family moved to Spokane, Washington, and Paul was employed by Washington Department of Health and Human Services. He was active in the Boy Scouts and both sons earned the rank of Eagle Scout. After retiring in 1976 to Priest Lake, for three years, Paul suffered a debilitating stroke and eventually moved to Seattle close to his family.
