The WWII Relatives thread

At age 33 , my dad was drafted in the "last call", by the Army. He went to New Orleans for his physical. When he got there the Navy asked for volunteers. He volunteered, then the Marines came in and asked if there were any welders in the crowd. He told the Marines he was a welder, and he went into the Marines. This happened in 1943. He fought in the Pacific, and when the war was over, his division was sent to China. He came back in 1945.
