Veterans of the Korean War usually have clear childhood memories of World War II. Allan recounts his recollections. FT remember well the begin ning of WW II, though I don't remember people saying, "Oh, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor." I U do remember my grand- - mother calling my parents and telling them that we were at war. Dad probably said, "It's about time we confront Japan." Ja-pan." He was always up on politics, because things had been very bad for farmers in northeast North Dakota. But the war years were the best farmers had had for a long time. We actually got electricity electric-ity on the farm early in the war, though we didn't have indoor plumbing until 1948. The big thing during the war was to go down to the railroad depot and watch the servicemen leaving, because ' there were always servicemen leaving. The band would play as the boys got on the Northern Pacific or the Great Northern Railroads. One day my dad's brother called Dad and said, "If you watch the east, you're probably prob-ably going to see an airplane come in." Then all of a sudden, from the east came a B-25 bomber. It had to raise up to clear the granary! Noise? Horrible! Chickens, dogs, cats ran everywhere. ev-erywhere. The pilot was my cousin, a pilot in the Army Air Corps. Everybody knew that flying so low was against the law, but everybody did it anyway. There was a little other airplane air-plane activity during the war. When I was in grade school, our neighbor, Victor Johnson, came and picked up 13 of us kids in the back of a two-ton grain truck. He took us to Grafton, where my grandmother lived. North of Grafton about a mile and a half, there was a concrete con-crete highway, the only one in the area. An airplane had landed on the road the evening before. I'll never forget that airplane. air-plane. It was very strange looking, painted a dark green, with red stars on it. Everybody Every-body wanted to know what the red stars were for. We learned that a lady pilot was ferrying a P-39 from some place in Kansas, to Winnipeg, Canada, and then over the North Pole to the Soviet Union. This was the lend lease program. pro-gram. But to us kids, this was the greatest thing in the world! It didn't sit like the other planes did, because it had a tricycle landing gear. We were able to get up on the wing and look into the cockpit. The local police were there, standing around. Some veterans of WW I were also out there, in their old-type helmets. This airplane had had a problem and had to land.

I don't remember a lot about patriotism during the war, only that there was always a war bond drive going on, and we were saving metal things aluminum toothpaste tubes, old machinery, old tractors that were no longer running; and also batteries and even foil gum wrappers. I guess that was being "patriotic." German prisoners were brought into our area to help with the potato harvest, and also a large group of Jamaicans. Jamai-cans. The Jamaicans had never seen weather like ours, they didn't talk like we did, and they were Blacks. They complained continually about being cold, so it didn't work out. My dad went up to the Canadian border and hired Indians to help with the farm work. The Korean War started in 1950, and my draft number came up in June of 1952. My mother learned from the draft board that I would probably be called up in the fall. 1 came home from Washington state, where I was working, went to Grand Forks, walked in the recruiting office door, and told them I wanted to join the Marines.
