COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Hershel Williams | 1st Battalion, 21st Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division - Marines

6:04   |   His older brother had joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and was not far from home. As soon as he was sixteen, Hershel Williams signed up, too, but he wound up in Montana, fencing in range land. He was there when Pearl Harbor was attacked and many of the boys who were of age went right into the Army. Hershel had to wait, which was fine because he wanted the Marines.
