Condiciones de Vida

Living conditions were wherever your unit stopped - sleep in pup-tents or if you were lucky you found a house. As far as baths are concerned -whenever you had a chance - cold or hot. Not much as far as entertainment was concerned, visited nearby towns to see the living condition of the people in that country.

Recuerdo más vívido de la experiencia militar

The day war was over in Europe. No more buddies being killed or wounded. We can soon go home to the good old U.S.A.

Lo que más extraño durante su tiempo en las fuerzas armadas
