Anecdotes

This page is a series of links to stories about the United States Army, National Guard, and State Guards. The U.S. Army includes all units of the U.S. Army including civilian employees, ROTC, Army Reserve and some U.S. Army Air Corps Stories (only those of men who served later in regular Army rather than making USAF shift or men who were in ground units of AAF affiliation). Air Corps and Army Air Force stories have been moved to the USAF page. The National Guard stories will involve Army National Guard stories. State Guard stories will involve those State Military Units which were a subset of the National Guard and which were organized for a number of decades (during the WWI and WWII periods).

Most of the Stories below have been submitted by service members to me by email. If you have any such stories to submit please email me below. Thank you and enjoy. Other stories on pages other than Center Pages are either ones I have found on the web or ones others have told me of which contain similar material. If you know of such a site, please pass the address on to me.
