Memories For This Unit

Other Memories

At the age of 16, Larry Poulin joined the National Guard and when he turned 18, after graduating from high school, he joined the Navy.



“I figured based on the Navy having limited combat action in WWI that would be the case in WWII. Boy, was I wrong,” said Poulin. “We had more than 30 vessels sunk by the Japanese and so many of us in the Navy were moved to the front lines, myself included.”



That frontline duty ended up leading to his eventual capture by the Japanese.
