 When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, I was on reenlistment leave hunting deer in the mountains of Pennsylvania. When word was broadcast of the attack I was ordered back to my outfit at Fort Meade and notified that I was being held for the convenience of the Government, and would not be discharged while serving in the Medical Corp.
