William was living in Los Angeles California when he heard
of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Hawaii.
He entered the military on October 14, 1942 at the age of
twenty.
While a member of the Army Air Force, William was a member of
the Quartermaster Corps and was assigned as a truck driver.
William says that his was experiences were mostly routine
but the experience caused him to grow up and mature quickly.
His experiences point out the fact that for every serviceman
fighting overseas during WWII, there were many, many servicemen and women driving
the war machine in important and sometimes critical jobs.
William was discharged from the AAF on January 4, 1946 with
the rank of Corporal.
