Bobrowski went on the 2014 Texas
South Plains Honor Flight with his
daughter Susan “Bobbye” Maxey
as his guardian. He said the WWII
Memorial was his favorite.

Company C of the 93rd went through the towns
of Oberporlitz and Saalfeld, supported an attack
on Schleiz with fire and destroyed buildings in
Theuma. Enemy positions were destroyed by the
93rd east of Theuma. Their last mission was firing
on enemy positions at Stockigt. On April 20, 1945,
Company C was relieved from the field.
Stanley arrived home in the states on the Fourth
of July, 1945. He was transferred to the 506th
Battalion at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina until his
discharge on February 5th, 1946. He returned
to Purdue University to finish his degree. After
graduating in 1948, he went to work for Anheuser-
Busch in St. Louis as a chemical engineer. While
in St. Louis, he met his future wife, Isobel (Susie),
on a blind date. They had one daughter, Susan,
through adoption after they moved to Matawan,
New Jersey. In 1974, they were transferred to
Bakersfield, California. In 1978, Susan came to
Texas Tech in Lubbock, and Stanley and Susie
moved to Lubbock in 1984.

Now 95 years old, Stanley can look back on a long
life well-lived. When asked what he would like to
be remembered for, in an understatement common
for the Greatest Generation, he simply said that he
would “just like to live and die.” Especially as a
first generation American, we all owe Stanley our
thanks and gratitude for his service to our country.
