The 'Tulsa World' has been profiling WWII veterans, and they've now reached my uncle. His story is a bit different from most, especially in terms of how he wound up in the U.S. Army, so I thought I'd share.

Thanks for posting, and from the interview, your uncle seems to be one hell of a guy;
"“I joined,” he said, “to get even with Hitler."

" “They wanted someone who’d actually been there,” he said. “And, hell, I was only 80 at the time.”"

Respect!

Thanks for your comments.

Yes, a great guy. The fact that he enlisted two years before Pearl Harbor because he was spoiling for a fight says a lot.
