Source: Veterans’ Memorial Hall veteran history form, veteran’s account follows: “I owe more to the service (Navy) than the service owes to me. The training and benefits I received have been invaluable. I still believe compulsory military training for every eligible individual would solve many of the social problems we have in our country today.”
