WHERE IS THE SERGEANT?


In 1948, I was transferred to Camp Leroy Johnson, (the present location of U. N. O.) for discharge.  Two weeks before discharge, the Army decided to send us (about 50) on a weeklong bivouac in pup-tents way out in the country from Slidell, La.  (Just like the Army).

Virginia had no way to contact me, so she found an old used luggage tag, and printed the following: " SGT IS WAY OUT IN THE WOODS FROM SLIDELL ON BIVOUAC" which she kept in her wallet.

We still have the luggage tag, if anybody wants to know exactly where to locate me.
