My Dad went into town with four of his cousins in 1943 to join the Marines. Those five represented four different farming families in our area. They had grown up together doing farm work and playing baseball. They were probably pretty sure they could help bring the war to an early end. All four of his cousins were signed on as Marines, but Dad was turned down. I don't know why, but possibly because he was the youngest in the group, and the only son in his family.

Each of their families became gold star families and were provided with new houses-a noticeable thing in that small community. Dad died in 2005, and I think he always felt deeply the loss of those four.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
