Your in the Army now,your not behind the plow

18 days after graduating from High School I was drafted into the army.The date was June 18, 1945, and the German's had surrendered and only Japan was left to take care of. I thank President Harry S. Truman for dropping the atom bomb because I was on my way to the west coast,Ft. MacArthur in San Pedro,California
This picture was taken on the Rye farm during my first furlough in December of 1945.
