To discourage future “recruits” lol. Imagine the Joe Frazier American professional boxer T-Shirt in addition I really love this badass story of a 12 year old getting war medals. Every 12 year old ever would be attempting it lol I could think of a few legal reasons but Morally it shows that if you do sign up (considerably) underage you will be stripped of everything and sent home. It sends the message that if you do it and get caught it will end badly for you. If you just gave him a slap on tbe wrist and sent him home I could see other children trying it. It seems his intentions were good and honorable, but at the end of the day, we can’t condone children soldiers. Even if they beg and plead to be one. For those that didn’t read the article – the purple heart was given back to him two years after his death, at the age of 62. I Saw Rick “Ricky” Schroeder in the made for TV movie “Too Young the Hero”, it was based on this story. I saw it when it originally aired in 1988, and I was 10 years old. Weird to think I was just two years younger than the guy when he actually joined the Navy! Malnutrition ran rampant due to the great depression, so it wasn’t to unusual for someone to not have hit puberty or to have some significant growth spurts being fed nutritionally balanced food. Combine that with the fact that he joined with a group of 14-16 year olds, and he probably looked as old or older than the others around him.

Same thinking. Basically, did he look 12? So we need a photo of him. I find it hard to believe there isn’t one. He joined with a group of 14-16 year olds who also lied about their age, sort of blackmaling a dentist who called him out specifically but let the Joe Frazier American professional boxer T-Shirt in addition I really love this other go in the process. However, Graham was worried about the dental exam. He later said, “I knew he’d know how young I was by my teeth.” Disagree here. Puberty has a pretty wide age range. A guy I went to school with was 6′, muscular, and grew a non-patchy beard at 12. He looked far older at 12 then I did at 17. Where the hell did his mom think he was? “I haven’t seen my young lad, Calvin, in quite some time; that little bugger better not be warring it up with his buddies.” After he joined the Navy, he told his mom he was going to visit his grandmother. In reality, he was shipping out to San Diego for basic training. A lot of kids were lying about their age to fight in WWII and the US wanted to discourage that. To let him keep them, at least at the time, would have reflected poorly on the US, just as the training of child soldiers reflect poorly on Germany and Japan. He was recognized later in life and his medals were re-instated years later. My grandfather did the same in WWI. He was Canadian and enlisted in WWII as well. He came home a humble giant to me and our family, never speaking of the atrocious things he’d seen. My sister and I would cut his hair and pretend to be barbers. Best of the best.
