Lo que más extraño durante su tiempo en las fuerzas armadas

The men I trained with. Some of us were ordered to remain behind to train the replacements.

¿En lo personal, qué obtuvo de su experiencia militar?

We knew that it was 'Go For Broke.' We had this chance to prove once and for all that we are 'Americans' and would prove it the hard way. My older and younger brothers are buried at the cemetary in St. Avoin, France.
