“Come on Mom. Please sign!” That was the conversation young Neal McCallum had with his mother shortly after his 17th birthday in 1944. America’s Veterans Stories rebroadcasts an interview with McCallum, who explains that during WWII, 17-year-olds could join the military with a parent’s signature. Neal’s mother refused; his four older brothers were already serving in Europe. Neal convinced his father to sign, and ten days after his 17th birthday he was in the Marines.
