Vincent was drafted in October 1941. Vincent was sent to officer's candidate school.  We don't know where else he served but he is recorded as being "on duty" with D Company 116th Infantry on 1 Jun 1944 as a 1LT.  His likely duties were as a platoon leader. 1LT Labowicz was killed in action in the amphibious assault that took place on Omaha beach on 6 Jun 1944.
