My dad was drafted in Jan. 1941 for 1 year. After Pearl Harbor he was extended for the duration. He went to Guadal Canal and caught malaria and was sent to New Zealand to recover. Went back to Guadal Canal with MacArthur's invasion to take it back. He was finally discharged in 1946. Said it was the longest year of his life! Virtually all of the guys he went out with didn't make it! Malaria probably saved his life! He passed in 2003 at the age of 84.
