1942 I had my pilots license 1943 Enlisted in Army Air Corp as cadet. Flying PT-17 and AT-6 1945 They had too many pilots and I was put in Infantry. Went to Philippine Island. When War ended I went with advance party for occupation of Taegu, Korea. The Japanese soldiers were still there at their guard posts. 1946 shipped home and was dis-charged.
It wasn't so much that there were too many pilots, but the invasion of Europe was anticipated and there was a greater need for more infantry men. I was caught in a similar situation, but ended up in a general hospital as a truck driver.

Yes. As of December 2010, he is 109 years old and is currently working on a memorial project (see Related Links).
Luis, don't use the phone. Go to your nearest VA hospital and ask for a veteran volunteer for your project, who would agree to talk to you. And take a simple, thoughtful gift. As you would for any dying family member. If you don't want to do the above you could always try the internet. There are alot of WW2 Vets on the internet. But the very best way to do it would be to talk to them face to face the the person above suggested. Yes, I strongly agree to just search the web unless you do have time to go to a hospital, The web would surely have what you need.
