Today is Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Day. On this day in 1941, my husband, who was a 17-yr.-old Yale student, lied bout his age and joined the Marines. You and I weren't born yet.

Deborah,
You must be proud. Please tell your husband thank you. Quite a difference between then and now. What would it take today to motivate a Yale student to leave school and to join the Marines?
The truth is that many universities were turned into training camps for the armed forces, so the students didn't have a whole lot of choice.
Mike chose the Marines so he'd have the best training of all branches of service. Little did he know that he'd get to visit Iwo Jima, Nagasaki (right after the A-bomb), and then a couple of years after WW II...Korea!
He still managed to work 50 years for high-profile law firms in NYC after all of that. He's semi-retired at 82.
