Joining the Army
"Now, all of my brothers joined the Navy, so that was was what I was going to do too." Grandpa told me. "They were in the navy, and I figured that I would join the Navy, but first, I was going on a hunting trip up to Canada with my oldest brother. I went on this hunting trip, and had a grand time. I wasn't much of a hunter, but my brother bought me a rifle, and we visited our uncles in Canada and we went hunting. I had a good time of it too. Liked it. I came back home, and found a draft notice. For the Army. I had wanted to be in the Navy, but once you were drafted, well, they said, 'Go', and you went. So, that's how I ended up in the Army. I was the youngest, so I wasn't in World War 2, like my brothers, no I was in Korea."
