There are no foreign war heroes in this story, no purple hearts, oak leaf clusters or medals of honor. This short narrative is the uneventful account of an ordinary farm boy who, on October 11, 1954, and at the age of nineteen, was called to serve his country . He knew little beyond farm work, yet he was chosen for the Army Anti Aircraft Command and received training in the Nike Ajax Missile Project. After missile training at Fort Bliss Texas, he was sent to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he helped build a missile base, train a launching crew, and serve as a Section Chief until he was honorably released from active duty on October 10, 1956. He never served outside the continental United States, and his only decorations were the expert rifleman medal, and the good conduct ribbon.This is his story.
