Who Was He?
He was a 12 yr old boy who lied about his age and managed to get accepted into the American Navy in 1942. He was awarded the bronze star and the purple heart.

When the U.S. WW2 Memorial was dedicated a few years ago, I met two veterans who had stitched onto their caps the words “Too Young to Serve”. But serve they did. One was 14 when he enlisted and the other 15. They said when the war broke out they just had to get in the military. It was great to meet those guys.
