生活状況

Lived in dugouts, foxholes, empty buildings, and houses, but most of the time in tents.

Never bathed on the front lines. Had showers later.

Meals were field rations on the lines, some hot meals. In peacetime hot meals - which weren't bad.

For entertainment, attended all USO shows that came to our area. Had movies from the states in theatres close by. Went on passes to the cities and Switzerland twice.

軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

During combat - the times I was scared stiff, the close calls (I was never wounded). Seeing the badly injured and all that blood and the dead that were laid out off the trails we traversed.

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

Home and family.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

To know that I had served my country just like any other American and felt confident that I could live my life with no trouble whatsoever. Now that I am retired, as a VFW member, I enjoy the company of other veterans, the reunions, meetings, special events, golf outings, etc. So my military period of my life still affects the way I live now.
