It used to be very rare for one to see a wild turkey. They were very wily and difficult to find. Now, it is not unusual to see them feeding in the fields near our home. This picture was taken on the road to our house.
I was drafted in the Army in 1945. I took my training in Fort Knox, KY and Fort Ord, CA and was stationed in Saipan for 13 months during WWII. I was the company clerk for the "2848 Engineer Gas Generating Detachment on Saipan. They produced Oxygen, Acetylene Welding Gas,and CO 2. After WWII, I joined the reserves and was called back to serve in the Korea War for a year in 1952. I was with the S-1 Section. During this time I attained the rank of sergeant first class.

Was that taken around Thanksgiving, by chance? A very lucky turkey to happen onto your yard!
