My mother has always told us that her brother RJ (Robert James) Neal was part of the detail that guarded Hermann Goering after his surrender in WWII. He was part of the Texas 36th division, 142nd infantry. My sister found this newspaper article from the Dallas newspaper dated May 10, 1945 that lists my uncle Cpl Robert Neal as one of seven Texas veterans in the guard detail.
