Recommended for a commission, he saw combat in France as a 2nd Lt. with the "Blue Bonnet Reg." After returning from France, he and other officers worked to have the 124th infantry reorganized, and in 1940 Safay took command. He served until 1942, when he received his star and transferred from the regiment.
