I was born in early 1941, so too young to be apart of WWII. I did my part though, with the help of my neighbor, Jerry Rapp, our backyards were completely clear of any German or Japanese soldiers. We were able to keep our own little war going well after 1945---and the enemy paid dearly---I don't remember ever losing a battle. I do remember all the great Army Surplus stores around Southern California in the 1950's with all the WWII left overs. By the 1960's they were gone and our little wars were over and I was on to another challenge---girls.
