World War II veteran Bill Schultz of Billings talks about his service during the war, as well has his brother Donald's time as a prisoner of war in Japan.
God bless you , Mr. Schultz. I'm happy you and your brother were able to come home to mom and dad after such a terrible War. Fascinating story from the generation that ate nails for breakfast.
1:22:48 He thought about joining the Reserves for the money, but he didn't. Otherwise he'd have ended up in Korea. Thats exactly what happened to my Dad. He was with the Army Airforce from '43-until early '46. He was in Saipan '44-'45. He was from Chicago and finished College and Law School in the Navy Reserve. He was called-up for Active Duty for Korea 3 months after graduating Law School in 1950 and 1 month after his first child was born in September 1950. When he was discharged in 1952, he was 28 and had spent 1/3 his life and as an enlisted man in the military. I never heard him complain.
Hi. Andrew What I meant was if all the equipment that had been sent to the South pacific and Europe were sent back to the US it would have been sold cheap and hurt the manufacturing of new . Some was returned and the Govt. had war surplus sales for several years . I bought a pair of Ski they were White and made of wood and were very good for the time.
That's my grandpa
Then you are a blessed person
Some great stories. Thanks for posting.
