USdog Posted October 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2018 Here is a pretty interesting tag, or at least I think. He was born on April 27, 1929 and joined the US Navy in 1944. That makes him 15 at the time! I know it was common at the time to lie about your age and join the service. I just think it is interesting to have a tag of someone who did this at age 15. Makes me wonder what his enlistment photo looks like in his file!! He might have seen combat, I am not sure. Only info I can find of him is being a passenger on the USS Bergen in January 1945. If anyone can help that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
