Edward Dorstewitz
Interview Length: (00:49:47:00)
Interview conducted with Dorstewitz’s wife, Peggy
Pre-enlistment / Training (00:00:59:00)
Dorstewitz grew up in Coloma, Michigan and as far his wife knows, none of his family
members ever served in the military (00:00:59:00)
After graduating from Coloma High School, Dorstewitz attending Ferris State University,
opting to go to classes year-round, so he would finish early (00:01:42:00)
o Dorstewitz’s deferment lasted until late spring/early summer but because
Dorstewitz finished in January, he received his draft notice in January; however,
the Army gave Dorstewitz the option to wait, so although he was drafted in
January, Dorstewitz did not actually report until April (00:01:54:00)
o In the manner that Dorstewitz entered the military, it appeared he had enlisted
instead of having been drafted; therefore, Dorstewitz appeared to be a volunteer
as opposed to a draftee (00:02:33:00)
Dorstewitz served from April 1969 until November 1970, having received an early-out
because he chose to re-up and stay in Vietnam longer, which was a difficult decision;
however, in return for staying longer in Vietnam, when Dorstewitz came home, he was
discharged and did not have to receive an assignment in the United States (00:02:48:00)
o A typical deployment lasted twelve months but Dorstewitz’s lasted eighteen so he
could come home and immediately receive his discharge (00:03:16:00)
Dorstewitz went through basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky (00:03:28:00)
o Dorstewitz spoke of tests that all the soldiers had to take and he ended up going
into the infantry, although he ended up becoming a specialist within the infantry,
scoring high on his marksmanship tests; eventually, Dorstewitz received the
designation of being a mortarman (00:03:41:00)
Dorstewitz started his training in April and deployed to Vietnam in November but there
was a period of roughly a month where Dorstewitz was “in flux” and he spent the month
at Fort Lewis, Washington before actually shipping out (00:04:09:00)
When Dorstewitz deployed, he and the other soldiers deploying with him flew to
Vietnam; the flight took Dorstewitz and the other soldiers from Seattle to Anchorage,
Alaska, then to Hong Kong, and finally into Vietnam (00:04:33:00)
o Within the larger group of soldiers who Dorstewitz deployed with, there were a
couple of smaller groups of soldiers who deployed as a group but the majority
trickled off and went individually (00:06:03:00)
Deployment (00:06:12:00)
Once in Vietnam, Dorstewitz stayed with the same group of soldiers for the entire regular
part of his tour but when he chose to re-up, Dorstewitz left the group (00:06:12:00)
�
Dorstewitz arrived in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam and from there, went to Nam Penh, which
was where his unit was located (00:06:35:00)
o When Dorstewitz first joined unit, the unit was performing what Dorstewitz
described as “beating the brush”; the soldiers would be sent out on patrols in order
to find and engage the enemy (00:06:57:00)
Eventually, Dorstewitz received an assignment as a driver (00:07:16:00)
When the soldiers went out on a patrol, they would usually go out for the
day before setting up a position to spend the night; the positions would be
ringed with claymore mines and wire, with the soldiers inside and the next
day, the soldiers would take everything down and move on (00:07:25:00)
o The first assignment Dorstewitz’s unit had was patrolling along Highway 1 both
to make sure the highway stayed clear of the enemy and to maintain a military
presence along the highway (00:07:45:00)
o Overall, Dorstewitz’s unit did not have a lot of contact with the enemy, although
every now and then, there were some engagements (00:08:11:00)
o The soldiers searched for mines and Dorstewitz sent home photographs and letters
discussing how the soldiers took turns go out in front of the unit (00:08:16:00)
Dorstewitz’s unit had some Vietnamese defectors from the Viet Cong who
worked with the soldiers and knew what to look for; the defectors would
often walk ahead of the unit to look for the mines (00:08:25:00)
o Dorstewitz’s unit did not engage a lot of the enemy; when the unit was on the
highway, the enemy tended to stay away (00:08:55:00)
Apart from the Vietnamese defectors, later on, when Dorstewitz’s unit was camped
outside of Cambodia and would perform missions within Cambodia at night, the soldiers
worked with local Montagnard tribesmen (00:09:43:00)
In terms of the regular Vietnamese population, Dorstewitz believed that they were an
incredibly patient people, a fact which amazed him (00:10:33:00)
o The Vietnamese people who Dorstewitz ended up encountering were nice,
friendly, and kind towards him (00:10:55:00)
o As well, Dorstewitz really admired the Montagnards, who Dorstewitz felt were
incredible (00:11:04:00)
o Soldiers in Dorstewitz’s unit tended to not go into villages alone because the unit
was either in the bush or in camp; the soldiers did find enemy camps but every
time, the camps were empty (00:11:23:00)
There was always evidence of the enemy within the empty camps and
some times, the soldiers arrived just after the enemy had left; there would
be paperwork and other materials lying around to show that the enemy had
just left the camp (00:11:45:00)
From time to time, Dorstewitz’s unit would engage the enemy, especially if the unit was
out on a patrol and had set up in a position; the enemy tended to not bother the unit when
the unit was on the move but when the unit set up in a position, then the enemy would
engage them (00:12:05:00)
o When the enemy did engage, the soldiers would fire their weapons as well as try
to fire mortars and once the fighting was over, the soldiers would advance out in
order to overtake and capture any wounded enemy soldiers (00:12:20:00)
�
o At one point, while Dorstewitz’s unit was patrol along the highway, another unit
became involved in an engagement with the enemy, there were bodies left over
and Dorstewitz’s unit had to take care of the bodies (00:12:38:00)
The unit would spend weeks at a time in the field, although sometimes, it was longer,
maybe a month or more, to the point that the soldiers’ clothes would begin rotting off
their bodies (00:13:09:00)
o Eventually, the soldiers would be brought back into a base camp, which tended to
have modern amenities, including movie theaters; Dorstewitz thought it was neat
that one of the camps even had a “steakhouse” (00:13:22:00)
o On two separate occasions, when the unit came back into a base camp, Dorstewitz
and several other soldiers stayed in a structure they had built out of sandbags and
ammo boxes that had a rudimentary roof over it; typically, between seven and
nine soldiers stayed within the bunker (00:14:02:00)
Those soldiers were the group who Dorstewitz spent most of his time with
and at one point, he sent home a picture of the group to his mother; in the
picture, it was Christmas Eve and even though the soldiers were raggedy
looking, they had still set up a small Christmas tree (00:14:25:00)
In the picture, a couple of soldiers looked gaunt and raggedy while a
couple of other soldiers looked plump and fresh; according to Dorstewitz,
the later couple of soldiers were the replacements who had just arrived in
the unit and it still had not sunk in yet as to where they were and what they
were doing (00:15:04:00)
Whenever it was a replacement’s turn to stand watch, the older
soldiers did not allow the replacement to stand watch alone
because the replacement did not quite get what exactly they needed
to do (00:15:30:00)
Dorstewitz had his twenty-first birthday while he was in Vietnam and most of the other
soldiers in his group were of similar ages, although there were a couple who were older,
around twenty-four (00:16:01:00)
On one occasion, the soldiers felt that they were in a relatively stable area, so as they set
up their claymores and wire for the perimeter, Dorstewitz decided to take his boots off
because he had not had them off in weeks (00:16:40:00)
o Dorstewitz set up a cot and placed the boots underneath the cot; at some point, an
explosion blew Dorstewitz out of the cot, inflicting him a fairly large number of
shrapnel wounds (00:17:01:00)
Even for several years after Dorstewitz met his wife, pieces of shrapnel
would work their way to the surface, so Dorstewitz had to take a pair of
tweezers and pull the metal out (00:17:24:00)
o According to Dorstewitz, as soon as an enemy attack began, the mortarmen would
begin firing mortars, although it seemed like an eternity between the time the
mortars were fired until they impacted (00:17:55:00)
However, as soon as the first rounds landed, the enemy would disperse
because there was no cover from the impacting rounds (00:18:10:00)
The mortarmen’s goal was to lay down rounds as quick as they
could all around the perimeter; if there was firing in between, the
mortarmen would then adjust their fire accordingly (00:18:19:00)
�
During another encounter, the unit had set up in an a not-terrible good area but a general
was coming out to inspect the soldiers (00:18:55:00)
o The general came out by helicopter but the activity alerted the enemy that there
were soldiers in the area, so the enemy began firing at the soldiers (00:19:04:00)
o Everyone else frozen but Dorstewitz began running because the soldiers needed to
fire something; Dorstewitz was so low to the ground that he ended up hitting the
ankle of a soldier who was going with other way with his shoulder (00:19:22:00)
o Once at his mortar, Dorstewitz needed to get onto his knees to fire and although
the mortar was in an exposed area, Dorstewitz did the job anyway (00:19:55:00)
Dorstewitz always felt he had a weird kind of lucky because this and
several other times, he could have been wounded (00:20:12:00)
o Dorstewitz keep firing the mortar and once the rounds began to impact, he was
able to adjust his fire (00:20:22:00)
Whenever he communicated in letters home, Dorstewitz would just tell everyone that he
was fine, nothing was wrong, and to not worry about him (00:20:57:00)
o Dorstewitz’s wife has read some of the letters and it is difficult to comprehend
what Dorstewitz’s mother had been going through; Dorstewitz was the youngest
and she had to wait for letters that did not always come on time (00:21:20:00)
o Overall, most of the time, Dorstewitz was just trying to not make anyone worry
about him (00:21:42:00)
Dorstewitz also called home a couple of times using the MARS system; the soldiers did
not get to choose when they could call but put their names on a list (00:21:59:00)
o Dorstewitz was also supposed to be able to call home when he went on R&R but,
although the Army kept telling him he would be able to go, Dorstewitz never
went on an R&R (00:22:29:00)
Dorstewitz’s parents wanted Dorstewitz to try to get R&R to Hawaii and
their goal was to fly to Hawaii and see him; however, Dorstewitz reasoned
that would be difficult, so he instead put in a request for R&R in Hong
Kong, which someone had told his was cool (00:22:42:00)
However, the Army kept putting him off, so Dorstewitz finally put in a
request for Australia and received the R&R about a month before he was
scheduled to go home (00:23:02:00)
o In letters home, Dorstewitz wrote about all the letters and packages he received
from home, both from his family and friends of his mother (00:23:43:00)
In her Christmas package, Dorstewitz’s mother sent a wreath, a small
Christmas tree, and several other items (00:24:05:00)
Dorstewitz would also mention how every now and then, a soldier would
get down, but most because the soldier was homesick (00:24:27:00)
When Dorstewitz received his discharge in November, he was able to make it home in
time for Thanksgiving (00:24:44:00)
o During the last few months, Dorstewitz’s letters home showed he was beginning
to get nervous and Dorstewitz would say that it was really scary to be a shorttimer because that was when a lot of soldiers let their guard down (00:25:01:00)
However, Dorstewitz eventually began making plans for all the things he
was going to do once he finally got home, including traveling to Europe
with some of the other soldiers in the platoon (00:25:25:00)
�
o When Dorstewitz arrived back in the United States, he visited a friend from the
platoon who lived in San Francisco, which upset Dorstewitz’s parents, who
wanted him to come straight home (00:25:41:00)
Around the time he received his shrapnel wounds, Dorstewitz also received significant
hearing loss and while recovering from the shrapnel wounds, Dorstewitz did some
hearing tests and the doctor said his hear loss was profound and they recommended he
not be in an area with noise (00:26:04:00)
o However, it was a difficult recommendation for Dorstewitz because he was a
mortarman; instead, Dorstewitz was moved to a different platoon (00:26:28:00)
o Not only was Dorstewitz disappointed about losing his chance to see his friends
but he also lost an upcoming promotion to be a sergeant, which he would only
have received if he continued working as a mortarman (00:26:33:00)
o The mortarmen did not use any hearing protection and most times, the soldiers did
not even wear their helmets, which tended to be in the way (00:27:08:00)
According to Dorstewitz, the soldiers had pretty free access to marijuana and beer; in a
letter home, Dorstewitz wrote that the three things the soldiers had to drink were: soda,
water, and beer, although if a soldier appeared either drunk, hung over, or high, then there
were consequences (00:27:30:00)
When he left Vietnam, Dorstewitz returned via Fort Lewis (00:28:21:00)
o When he returned, Dorstewitz did not have much trouble with protestors at the
airport when he arrived (00:28:34:00)
Post-Military Live / Reflections (00:28:45:00)
Dorstewitz was from a small town and just by talking with him, one could not have
guessed that he had served in the military; for a lot of the time that Dorstewitz and his
wife were married, his wife got the impression that Dorstewitz felt he was lucky but that
he owed a lot because he had made it through but a lot of guys did not (00:28:45:00)
o Nevertheless, the experience still affected Dorstewitz and caused him to have
several variables, such as not having guns in the house and not going camping;
when Dorstewitz’s wife asked why he did not want to go camping, Dorstewitz
said that the last time he had camped, people were shooting at him (00:29:30:00)
o Another quirk Dorstewitz picked up was that he could not sleep in a room where
his head was near a window; Dorstewitz and his wife did not talk about it but it
reached the point where whenever they would go to a place, she would look to
make sure everything was set (00:30:47:00)
Even before he met his wife, Dorstewitz knew he was sick, although he did not know
what exactly from (00:31:32:00)
Growing up, Dorstewitz’s father had owned a business and all Dorstewitz wanted to do
was work with his father; therefore, when Dorstewitz went to college, he took courses
that would best serve him at the business, which made drafting supplies (00:31:44:00)
o However, when Dorstewitz left school, he was drafted, so the plan for working
with his father got put to the wayside (00:32:10:00)
o Initially, Dorstewitz’s brother was not interested in working at the business but
while Dorstewitz was in the military, his brother married and began working in
the business; thus, when Dorstewitz came home, there was no place in the
business for him (00:32:15:00)
�
Although their father tried to arrange it so both brothers could work in the
shop, it did not work out and because the older brother had already been
working there, he stayed in the job (00:32:31:00)
When Dorstewitz’s wife met him, he was working as a bouncer at a bar (00:32:47:00)
o Soon after the two met, Dorstewitz began looking for another job, although his
criteria confused his wife, although he eventually explained that he was looking
for the job with the best medical insurance (00:33:05:00)
o Not long after, Dorstewitz began presenting symptoms of Hodgkin’s disease,
which was always there; however, the disease in a way made the couple’s lives
better because they never took one day for granted (00:33:31:00)
When Dorstewitz was older, his brother started his own business and Dorstewitz’s father
asked him to come back to the business and Dorstewitz and his wife eventually ended up
purchasing the business (00:34:26:00)
While Dorstewitz’s unit had been patrolling along Highway 1, most of the area had been
deforested from “Agent Orange”, although the soldiers did not it (00:34:49:00)
o When Dorstewitz got sick, his family did not even know about “Agent Orange”
then either, although there was always a suspicion because even before his tour
ended, Dorstewitz was sick, having lost fifty pounds of weight (00:35:00:00)
When his symptoms started, Dorstewitz initially went to a local doctor before going to
the University of Michigan to undergo tests to determine the stage of the disease and
what treatment to use, which in Dorstewitz’s case was radiation (00:36:22:00)
o Dorstewitz finished radiation in August and in November, went to the V.A.; when
he initially came home, Dorstewitz went to the V.A., who said he had nothing
wrong with him, but this time, he had a definitive diagnosis (00:36:52:00)
o However, the V.A. said that although Dorstewitz had a Hodgkin’s diagnosis, there
was no correlation to Dorstewitz’s time in the service (00:37:42:00)
o Nevertheless, in 1979, the V.A. came out and reported that Hodgkin’s disease
could be caused by “Agent Orange” (00:38:01:00)
o Dorstewitz’s symptoms eventually reappeared and in 2003, while he was in the
hospital, Dorstewitz tried to have his case re-opened at the V.A. but they denied
him again (00:38:43:00)
After Dorstewitz passed away, his wife decided to apply again and after two years of
nearly constant work, Dorstewitz’s wife asked for a hearing, went to Detroit, and the
V.A. finally correlated Dorstewitz’s Hodgkin’s disease to “Agent Orange” (00:39:39:00)
o While Dorstewitz’s wife was waiting at an American Legion hall, a man from the
V.A. came over and said that he was going to walk Dorstewitz’s case through
because he should have never been denied (00:41:55:00)
As long as Dorstewitz’s wife knew him, Dorstewitz did not communicate with anyone
who he had served with, although she did come across a not book with address of some
of the soldiers (00:45:32:00)
o Nevertheless, when he initially returned home, Dorstewitz did receive some
letters from former comrades and he did end up hitch-hiking across Europe with
the soldier who lived in San Francisco (00:45:46:00)
When the duo reached Amsterdam, the other soldier met a lady, so
Dorstewitz continued the tour by himself (00:46:01:00)
When Dorstewitz passed away, he received a full military burial (00:46:32:00)

Milton, was working at General Motors in 1941 and he was drafted into the Army on
April 16, 1941.
When they were drafted, they started out in Bigelow Field in Wyoming, and they went to
Kalamazoo the first night.
The next day they were brought to Fort Custer, Michigan and they were inducted into the
Army on April 17.
Before Andrew was drafted, he worked for several years on a farm.
Albert also worked on a farm prior to his military service.
On October 13, 1940, all men from age 21-29 had to register for the draft.
Albert and Andrew knew each other before the war had begun.
Military Service (05:20)
The men spent about two weeks at Fort Custer once they were inducted. They pulled
targets at the firing range.
Then they were sent to Camp Livingston, Louisiana and were put into the 127th Infantry.
At basic training, the climate was hot. That summer, one of the largest military
maneuvers in our nation’s history was held in North Carolina. It lasted for six weeks.
The only equipment that they had was their rifles. The uniform that they wore was from
World War I and the rifle was also a WWI issued 23. (07:27)
In May, they were still wearing wool uniforms.
When Pearl Harbor happened, the men were in Louisiana. Albert was coming home from
church and he heard about it on the radio in the car.
Every morning the men were told to pack everything they had in their barracks bag
because they did not know when they would leave. The 125th Infantry was sent to the
coast to guard the United States.
They left Louisiana in February 1942. The Division was slated to go to Europe, but they
were needed in New Guinea. (09:27)
�
Albert drove a Carry-All, which is like a Suburban, from Louisiana to Massachusetts.
From there they boarded a train and five nights and six days later they arrived in San
Francisco.
They did not get off the train very often, each man had a bunk, and the only time they left
their car was for lunch and dinner, and to walk around a little bit.
When they arrived in San Francisco, they went to Fort Ord. About a month later, they
boarded a ship on April 16, 1942.
The first night was very stormy, and the men remember passing Alcatraz and the storm
picked up right away. (11:49)
The Pacific (12:00)
While on ship, Albert was on the ‘poop deck’ playing cards and the attitude of the men
was that they would not be gone very long because they would quickly whip the Japanese
and then go home.
The men did not know where they were going, but they made landfall first in Australia.
When in Australia, the infantry was moved far away from the towns. They were in an
Australian Army training camp which only had tents and a mess hall. The camp was
called Woodside and it was just Americans there, no Australians.
The Australians were very happy to have the Americans there. Especially the women.
At the camp, they did some drill and a few war exercises.
They moved to Camp Cable outside of Brisbane where they were given jungle training.
(14:20)
At this point, they still had no contact with the Australian Army.
By that time, they had been issued M-1 rifles and summer uniforms.
New Guinea (16:00)
Milton and Andy took a Kaiser built Liberty Ship from Brisbane to New Guinea. Barrels
of gas made the below decks smell, so Milton and a friend managed to stay top side for
most of the journey.
They land at Port Moresby, New Guinea. The men were sent out in a field near the
airfield and were told to dig in. (18:03)
Part of the 126th walked over the Owen Stanley Mountains and the others flew over. All
three men were able to fly.
When they landed on the other side of the mountain, it was many days walk to Buna.
Andy remembers flying to the airfield at Dobodura and walking north to Buna. On
Christmas Day, 1942, they began the battle. (20:47)
The men saw plenty of Japanese snipers, and many American soldiers were killed from
them.
A man named Yeutter in Weapons Platoon was the first one to be wounded, and
afterwards, Milton got his tommy gun (Thompson sub-machine gun).
Communications were poor, but Albert worked the switchboard at the 32nd Division
Headquarters, which was pretty well protected. (22:26)
�
Andy remembers one time while they were on the front lines, they heard what sounded
like firecrackers behind them, which turned out to be Japanese soldiers shooting
explosive shells.
When they first went into combat, they did not know where the Japanese were. They
crawled along and when someone fired at them, they fired back. (24:41)
There was no front line, because the Japanese were everywhere.
In their company, 223 men went over the mountains in several planes. Once the battle
was over and they returned to Australia, only twenty three remained. Not all were killed,
but there were many casualties.
They could usually smell the Japanese because they were so close. (26:15)
Around Christmas Eve, Milton and another soldier named Pete, got into a boat and went
out to a peninsula, and for three days they were surrounded by the Japanese. Thirty or
forty men formed a circle and just waited for them to come. The Australians were
approaching from the south with tanks, but the tanks could not effectively operate, so
everything had to be done hand to hand.
Andy stayed back with the supplies, so he was able to avoid most of the heavy combat.
But one day he was walking down a trail and a mortar shell fell right between him and
another man, but it was a dud and it failed to explode.
Organization was non-existent because artillery and mortars were flying everywhere, and
many casualties were a result of friendly fire. (28:33)
Andy was in charge of the runners because he was a sergeant. He remembers that
everyone was on their own. Nobody knew where anybody else was.
At night, the Japanese would approach their positions and throw stones to try to get them
to shoot and reveal their location. (30:13)
Milton and his men were there for three days, pushing forward and fighting at Buna
Mission. He was shot on January 2nd at Buna Mission.
In the middle of the night, sometimes friendly fire would occur because people would be
coming and going all the time, it was hard to tell friend from foe.
During a beach landing, Al was coming ashore and he saw General MacArthur smoking a
pipe coming up beside him. (32:02)
The three men believe that MacArthur was one of the greatest leaders and generals that
the United States has ever had.
After the men were done digging their foxholes, they would be filled with water. The
changing of the tides caused the ground water to rise as well.
The food that they were eating was c-rations. Some planes were dropping supplies, but
they were often shot at by the Japanese.
Andy remembers that the first Japanese he saw were dead bodies on the beach, which
was after Buna. (34:18)
Most of the men had malaria, dengue fever and yellow jaundice. Al had jaundice so bad
the medic thought he was dead. He was flown to a med-center to be treated.
The men also had jungle rot on their feet, with the temperature up to 130 degrees and it
rained everyday. (36:00)
When Milton was shot at Buna Mission, he was sent back to an aid station, sewed up and
put in a medical tent for ten days before he could be moved back to Port Moresby.
�
Al made it through the entire war and went to the Philippines. When he came home, his
unit was preparing to invade Japan, and only two original members of the 32nd remained;
Al being one of them.
The men fought in blue jeans, and the personnel on the boats taking people back and
forth all wore combat uniforms. After Buna, they had k-rations for food, and they also
had other supplies that they needed.
After Buna (38:42)
Once fighting in Buna was over, the men were sent back to Australia to regroup because
they had lost so many men.
They stopped at a nice beach, Coolangatta, so they could swim. While swimming, a
soldier was hit by a wave, taken out to sea and drown.
The men remained there for about two weeks. After they got enough men to head back
they went to Finschaefen. That is where Andy got enough points and was sent home. He
left through Milne Bay. (40:27)
Al went from Australia to the Philippines and was at the Battle of Leyte. (43:35)
This battle was very tough, on the way up a mountain to establish a communication
station; they looked down and could see the Japanese and tell them from the Americans
by their shoes.
Reports say that there was between twenty and thirty thousand Japanese there.
They had one prisoner; he was skin and bones and scared stiff. If the Japanese knew he
was still alive and was caught, they would have killed him.
At a Japanese hospital, they saw that they killed their own wounded that couldn’t be
moved so they would not be captured by the Americans. (45:35)
From Leyte, they made a landing at Luzon. From there Al ended up in Baguio which
was a nice resort.
At that point, Al and the other member of the 32nd were able to go home. They left from
Manila and boarded a captured German ship. The captain was also German, and he did
not know how to navigate or read a map because it took them thirty two days to get
home. (47:14)
Thinking back to the battle, Andy remembers one of his runners was heading back from
the front and he ran into General Eichelberger, who asked him how things were going.
The runner offered to take him up to the battle to see for himself, he said that he wanted
too, but they wouldn’t let him because of his rank. He was a good general.
Al remembers back in Brisbane seeing MacArthur and his wife with their son walking to
church one morning.
After the War (49:18)
After Milton was wounded, he was shipped back to California and eventually sent back
to Battle Creek, Michigan. He was there from May till August 16, then was discharged.
Milton was given an office job at General Motors and stayed there for thirty five years.
Andy went back to working on the farm for Westman Brothers for twenty five years.
Al also went back to the farm. Bell Telephone offered him a job right away due to his
signal corps and communications experience in the war. He turned them down.
�
Then he went to Reynolds Metal for a while, built trailers, and eventually got a job at
General Motors.
Even though he worked for GM, he always drove a Ford, and when asked about it, he
said he knew what a GM car was made of. (52:15)
After the war experience, the men feel that people should not take for granted the
freedoms that they have.
