So, here's an old veteran from WW II, 82 YOA, saying thanks to everybody, for the great feelings you have all displayed here! Yes, we did go and fight the common enemy, all over the world! Didn't have but 2 choices--either go, or stay home and go to jail, which wasn't much of a choice! Not hard to figure out which way to choose! I was in the 90th Division, as an Infantry replacement, from July 14th. to September 16th.1944. Wounded by an anti personnel mine, lost my left foot, and some teeth! Had a year of training in N.Carolina, Durham, Camp Butner, '43-44. Would i go if they asked me to? You bet! There must be something i could do to help! Mechanic, truck body repair, painter, Jack of most trades! Any regrets? No, none! At least, i got 2 ocean cruises, for free! Rusty J.
