I joined the 106th in March or April 1943 at Fort Jackson. I was first assigned to "C" Co., 423rd regiment. After a few months I was transferred to the I&R Platoon to finish out my Basic Training at Fort Jackson and went with the I&R Platoon to Tennessee for maneuvers. After Tennessee we went to Camp Atterbury where I was pulled out and sent as a replacement to Italy to join the 91st Infantry Division and was put
back into a Rifle Company as a rifleman.
Many riflemen were needed in Italy as several divisions were sent to France to make the Normandy Invasion.
I had heard that the Army ASTP program was cancelled and many of the men were sent to the 106th to replace those that were sent out.
I came close to death several times, but I praise the Lord that he spared me and I was able to go on and serve Him as Assistant Pastor and Minister of Music in churches in Ohio and California.
Enclosed is my membership fees. Please say hello to my friends. Looking forward to meeting you all in Orlando.
