I took up his job offer and was a personnel manager at the Nixon Nitration Works, until I was called back into service in 1950 to train officers and rangers. I chose not to go to Korea. I’d had enough of war. I stayed around Hershey, Pennsylvania, finally finding a little farm. A little peaceful corner of the world, where I still live today. And there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of the men I served with who never got to enjoy the world without war.

I think alot abt how roe was only 19 when he began to serve Like most of easy was pretty young serving like Bill who was also 19 and I feel like no one ever talks about it or mentions how young everyone truly was, no one was older then 40 by the time the war ended even the oldest alive members where around 35 ish (correct me if I'm wrong) and I think that really puts into perspective alot of the tragedies of the war
