Profiles Honor Flight DFW Spring-Summer 2014


 

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.
