Heroi do Ipiranga relata sua experiência
 na 2ª Guerra Mundial


Vicente Pedroso da Cruz
Poucos sabem, mas o bairro do Ipiranga tem um legítimo heroi. Trata-se de Vicente Pedroso da Cruz, ex-soldado da Força Expedicionária Brasileira (FEB), que entrou na batalha contra o nazismo, ao lado dos Aliados, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial na Itália, em 1944.
Ele integrou a 8ª Companhia de Fuzileiros do 6º Regimento de Infantaria, que passou 240 dias na linha de frente na guerra. Vicente conta que os dias frios e difíceis de confrontos e patrulhas eram amenizados pela receptividade das famílias, que ofereciam estadia e dividiam a escassa comida que tinham.
“Nos primeiros dias do conflito, a gente ficava muito assustado. Quando ouvi o primeiro tiro de canhão, o descontrole foi tremendo, meu joelho pulava e não conseguia segurar o queixo”. Outro momento marcante para Pedroso foi o que passou ao lado do amigo Ricardo Fuckner, que pisou numa mina e perdeu uma das pernas.
Premiado por sua firmeza no cumprimento das missões, Vicente relembra com saudosismo os tempos de glórias. Entre os objetos que possui estão o uniforme oficial, medalha de condecoração, capacete do exército nazista e uma antiga granada desativada. 
Vicente Pedroso, hoje aos 89 anos, é pai de duas filhas (Lúcia e Lucila) e tem uma neta (Raquel). Em 2008, lançou o livro “Os Caminhos de um Pracinha”. A obra é uma biografia e relata as memórias de guerra do veterano da FEB. &nbsp;
&nbsp;Histórico
A FEB foi a força militar brasileira mais de 25 mil soldados. Constituída inicialmente por uma divisão de infantaria, acabou por abranger todas as forças militares brasileiras a participarem do conflito. Entrou em combate em meados de setembro de 1944 no vale do Rio Serchio, ao norte da cidade de Lucca. As primeiras vitórias ocorreram já em setembro, com as tomadas de Massarosa, Camaiore e Monte Prano. 
Em 1960, as cinzas dos brasileiros mortos na campanha da Itália foram transladadas da cidade de Pistoia ao Brasil, e hoje jazem no Monumento aos mortos que foi erguido no Cemitério São Pedro, localizado ao lado do Crematório Vila Alpina, na Vila Prudente, em homenagem aos soldados.
