Both of my GrandFather's , and one of their brothers enlisted immediately afterwards.
They said pretty much every able bodied man in the age range did that across the whole nation.
Even many who were too young , lied to get in.

Unmatched patriotism and blood thirst for revenge.

uncle jack didn't make it back .
Married his sweetheart before he sailed off and had a honeymoon.
9 months later she gave birth to his son , Jack was shot down in a bomber shortly afterwards.
Never got to hold his son.

War is hell. Thank God we prevailed.

I bet that wouldn’t happen in today. A lot of people are too selfish to get involved.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
