COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Ken Faulkner | C Company, 137th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division - Army

8:14   |   The war was on but his unit kept training. Sent from comfortable California to blazing hot Alabama, Ken Faulkner was busted to private for filling his canteen in a stream. This would not be the first time he lost his stripes and he always got them back because he was an excellent platoon Sergeant. From the sweltering heat of the Summer maneuvers, he next endured frigid Winter cold in the Tennessee mountains, where he continued his tendency to buck the system.
