About Me Were you in the military? What were your rank and serial number? Were you drafted or did you enlist? What was the first you saw of the service—The enlistment center? The year was 1945.

Because Japan had surrendered by that time, and the services were trying to send the boy’s home ASAP, and I was aboard a ship, it only took a short time before I was sent home and discharged. From start to finish I was only in the service for 9 month...(read more)
