At Restoration Vein Care, our team of vascular surgeons and interven-
tional radiologists collaborate to return legs to health and good looks,
using high tech, well-proven, comfortable treatments.
Although 1 in 5 people have varicose veins, few sufferers visit their doc-
tor, mostly because they aren't aware that treatment may be covered by
their health insurance. Varicose veins are not only unsightly, they could
also be signs of a serious medical condition.
Bill Berman recounts his military
experiences.

Bill Berman tells Hillel
students about his service
during World War II.
M
andell "Bill" Berman, a
local businessman and
philanthropist, spoke to
Hillel Day School eighth graders on
Veterans Day, mesmerizing students
with stories of his youth and service in
the U.S. Navy during World War II.
Now 98, Berman's memories of his
upbringing in Detroit are intact. As
a teenager, he organized junior con-
gregation services at Congregation
Shaarey Zedek as a way to "get dates for
Saturday nights:' He then went to the
University of Michigan, but transferred
to Harvard University as a sopho-
more, where he met John F. Kennedy,
Leonard Bernstein and Alan Lerner,
author of My Fair Lady.
Dec. 7, 1941, started as a happy day
for Berman, with news from his moth-
er that his sister had given birth. Later,
on the radio, he and his classmates
listened as President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt reported that the Japanese
had attacked Pearl Harbor, calling it a
"day that will live in infamy:' Berman
joined the Navy, became an officer and
landed in Okinawa in 1945 to support
Marines in one of the bloodiest battles
in the Pacific.
Even as he slept in holes, uncovered
dead bodies and dodged bullets and
kamikaze attacks, Berman maintained
his sense of humor — and his sense
of self His Jewish identity remained
integral throughout his service, and he
prided himself on "never eating treif'
He said he did not know what was
going on in the concentration camps in
Germany during the war. "No one did:'
he said.
Students peppered him with ques-
tions, including one from Aerin Fink,
who asked if he was proud of his ser-
vice.
"It was a duty," Berman said, "a
patriotism we all felt:' *
