Dear

 

Many of you may know the boy, Schwartz, who ‘triple dog dared’ Flick into licking the frozen flagpole in A Christmas Story. But do you know the man Schwartz would become?

 

 

Today we are sharing a story about A Christmas Story and 1st. Lt. Paul L. Schwartz, an MIA service member lost in the Adriatic Sea off Italy in 1944.

 

Some of you may remember a scene from the movie A Christmas Story in which Schwartz ‘triple dog dares’ Flick to lick a frozen flagpole … with predictable and memorable results.

 

Our blog post today is a story behind the story and the man that “Schwartz” would become.
