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

I was able to get my B.A. Degree on the G.I. Bill. While in the service, I met the man I married - Edward F. Cleary (who was in Tilton General Hospital also as a G.I. Lab Technician.) and we had 2 wonderful sons. Now I have 2 wonderful grandsons and a special lovely daughter-in-law, Julie Nishiyama Cleary, and her parents became special friends after my husband died in 1988.
