Post War Years
Hank Bergman's place of separation from the service was at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. After he received his Honorable Discharge from the United States Army, he attended college on the G.I. Bill.
Following his return to Baltimore, Bergman was approached by the Democratic Party and asked to run for political office. However, he decided to seek a career in education instead.
Bergman married his wife Anne, and the couple moved to Miami Beach, Florida, where Hank graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor's Degree in Education in 1952. Later, he earned Masters and Specialist Degrees in Education from Nova Southeastern University.

Famous quotes containing the words post, war and/or years:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It’s a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“I stir my martinis with the screw,
four-inch and stainless steel,
and think of my hip where it lay
for four years like a darkness.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
