On Sunday, December 7, 1941, Kenneth was riding in a car
with friends in Clarendon, Texas. Suddenly on the radio came the announcement
that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Kenneth joined the U.S.
Army in April, 1943.
Kenneth was soon sent overseas to the South Pacific. He was with
the 36th Infantry Division, 113th Medical Battalion. His job
was that of a leader of a litter squad and surgical technician.
His most memorable war experience was the thought that he
was part of a bigger organization that were all “Avengers of Battaan.”
Kenneth was discharged from the military as a Corporal in
December, 1945.
