This Day in History: 1946-06-09
William R. Brennan telephoned his parents to say that instead of coming home he had reenlisted. He had served for two and a half years, two years overseas during and since the war. He had served in the infantry during the Italian campaign. He was the holder of a combat Infantry badge and the Purple Heart three times for his wounds. He had been transferred to the Air Force and had served in France since the war ended. He was on his way to Clover Field, New Mexico, and expected to be assigned to the Pacific theater. (Bristow)
