Honor Flight DFW Trip #10 Profiles


On Sunday, December 7, 1941 Glenn was home in Corsicana, Texas when he heard of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Glenn entered the U.S. Army on February 16, 1943. He was nineteen years old.

Assigned as an infantryman, Glenn saw combat as a member of the 78th Infantry Division. Later he was assigned to the 66th Infantry and the 104th Infantry Divisions.

Glenn saw action in the European and African-Middle Eastern theaters.

His military service taught him greater respect for his fellow man and caused him to grow up from a teenager to a man.

After being awarded the Combat Infantry Badge and Purple Heart, he was discharged on November 27, 1945 with the rank of Tech sergeant.
