Col. Benjamin Abramowitz was born in 1934. He is the son of Rueben Abramowitz, who served during World War I as an artilleryman. After the war, Rueben was sent to the 9th Signal Service Company and worked to decipher Japanese code a decade before World War II. At the end of the war, Reuben was commissioned to lead a signal school in Germany.
