North Korea Attacks South Korea
Heard at the Bar
June 1950
“Where is Korea? What business does the U.S. have in this war?”
“Truman says that we have to stop the communist taking over in Asia.”
“Out of my way! I’m joining the Corps – the Best! Semper Fi!”
Jack Walsh – Two boys joined the Navy.
Tommy O’Hara – My boys are reactivated for the draft.
Job Deferments – “I’m a machinist at the Navy yard.”
Bowdoin Street – Very few flags hand outside of 3 decker homes.
State House – Stay in college, get a deferment.
Danny’s Tavern – Very little interest unless you were involved in enlisting or being drafted.
