1st Lt. John Edward Murphy

United States Army HQ Coy. 386th Field Artillery Regiment

from:Brooklyn, New York

My dad Lt. John E Murphy enlisted in March after Pearl Harbor. He went through OCS and artillery training. When he completed his courses he was assigned to the 104th Division when it was established in late 1942 and served with them until he was discharged in 1945. We have all his letters to my mom during that time and there are too many funny stories to tell. I will say he loved the Timberwolves and felt that the United States had to fight in that war so that none of the horrible things that happened there would ever happen here.
