My Latest Obsession with Faeries
If you can even get your hands on a copy of it, read it. All my local libraries have it on hold for the next year, which tells me it must be good.

Harry Robin Ledecker joined the millions of Americans bent on defending their homeland from the Axis Forces' goal for world dominance with the attack on Pearl Harbor. Robin was prepared for the day when the draft would call his name, despite the fact that he was underage at the time. He wouldn't have to wait very long.I was a child.I had not yet turned 18. I turned 18 in May, graduated from high school in May, was drafted in May, and was on in July 1943, active service.I attended boot camp at Farragut, Idaho, while I was in the Navy.I marched a lot, went out on the water, and rode a boat.

We provided them with medical supplies, and we filled every ship that entered the harbor. their requests.

I have to tell you this story, and it might make me cry. One day, as I was traveling down the street, I noticed two men walking there.I then thought, "Well, I know those guys," as I turned to face them. They're from back home!". Bruce Hollembeak in particular. He lived about a half-block away from me, and in high school, we were close friends. When I visited the Navy, I was unable to locate him. However, I noticed him there and he was a Marine. What are you two doing here, I questioned. We're on R and R., and we're about to return to our unit, he said. ”. What can I get you, I asked? Can I get you anything? We'd like a sheet, I suppose. In the previous six months, we have not slept with sheets. ”I responded, "Well, I can do that. I'll see you tonight after the movie. .We frequently attended movies that the hospital showed in the evening. The entertainment came from that. Nevertheless, we met at the theater, watched the film, and I gave him the sheet. By the way, Robin, we're leaving first thing in the morning, he added.
