VETERANS PRESS: Portrait of a soldier — Bobie Eby
Bobie Eby (1932-2014) of Bonners Ferry, who served in the Korean War and received the Korean Service Medal, United Nations Medal, and five Bronze Stars.
Editor's Note: This profile on Bobie Eby (1932-2014) was originally published in the 2010 book "Vets" by John Thamm and Tom Davis and appears here courtesy of Veterans Help Net.
In 1932, a horse-drawn wagon brought a doctor to the doorstep of a tiny dwelling in rural South Dakota, where he delivered Bobie Eby on a snowy December night. Eby now calls his humble home a "toilet-paper shack" that has no running water or electricity. Within a couple of years, the family moved to Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and there he grew up.
