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)
“Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Her fist of a face died clenched on a round pain;
And sculptured Ann is seventy years of stone.
These cloud-sopped, marble hands, this monumental
Argument of the hewn voice, gesture and psalm,
Storm me forever over her grave”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
