This mirrors much of my dad’s life. He ran away from home to join the war, got caught, and was sent home. When he graduated from high school, he joined up right away. He ended up a replacement in the 132 Field Artillery, Battery B, 36th Texas Division. They were the first army in Italy, France and Germany. In January of 1945, he was captured and spent 5 months as a POW.
Now, at 83, he spends his time writing about his war experiences. It was a defining time in his life, but he never talked about it until recently. To this day, when he talks about it, his blood pressure goes up.
