Dad told me today that November 6th was his anniversary for joining the US Army. He joined in 1952, at the young age of 23....almost 24. He took off his boots and was discharged on November 5, 1954. He served his time in Korea. When asked if he wished he had stayed in service, he replied "If I did, I probably would have been sent to Vietnam, and I don't know if I would have made it out of there"! We were more than happy to have him at home with us!
