That's what Americans read on posters during World War I and II. To attract U.S. citizens to jobs in support of the war effort, the government created the Office of War Information (OWI) on June 13, 1942. My father was The Vision of apple-pie America and took it seriously, to do his part.
Dad signed-up at 15 years old until they found out he was 15. He was on his way to boot camp, he was a big boy. I really can't remember what happen. Only that William JAMES Yarbrough went looking for his son. Sam had adequate amount of time to grow -up and join in the future. He joined in 1940 for World War II.

Dad started out as a Corporal and became Staff sergeant,and Rank of second lieutenant,in the 101st Screaming Eagles during WWII the 101st Air- borne Division.

" Samuel met my mother in 1940 in small Diner in Dardanelle, Yell county Arkansas. Mother was peeling "Onions'. My dad was handsome, blue eyes, with black hair, and the rest of the boys in the family, had blue eyes and were "Cotton Tops" .
That day in the Diner, he was making a pass at her. He told her he was leaving and may never come back and they should get together,Mother started crying tears running down her red cheeks.
Dad felt badly and thought she must really have a soft heart, and she was crying, because he was leaving for war.
Mother went running to the kitchen telling her friends that dad was cute, and she was crying too hard, to know what he was saying, because of the "onions" not him.'
