Bill Weathersby, Jr.'s journey in World War II. This blog is a time line, based on records, journals and sometimes guesses regarding my father's service...beginning with the United State's entry into the war, Daddy's attempts to join the Army Air Corps, to enlisting with the Marines and his experiences until returning home. 2018 marks 75 years since he started down the path to being part of The Greatest Generation.
The summer (especially the late summer) of 1943 was when things started picking up with Daddy's enlistment into the military. He must have been very happy to receive this letter from the Air Corps directing him to report on July 8 for training.
