Stan, My Dad was one of those with a farm deferrment. He had a brother already in service and was on Pearl Harbor at the time of the invasion, and another brother who went to Guam. Both brothers came back. My mother however had two brothers serve. One was in England all through the war, but the other was sent directly to the Phillipines where he was captured and ordered on the Bataan death march. It took my Father many years after the war to realize that his contribution was as important to the total war effort as was the service of the soldiers. The farm was never quite the same as the dairy operation ceased at that time never to return. From then on it was field crops only. May we never forget what these brave men sacrificed so that we may enjoy the freedom we do today, for if not for them, we would durely be living in servitude to tyrany, if at all.
