I’d understand the Nolan Ryan American former professional baseball pitcher Retro T-Shirt in contrast I will get this mistake if he looked like this 12 year old stripping him of his medals though. Not like the heroism he displayed was any less valid being under the age of admission. It’s not like he was secretly buying lotto tickets or anything. More just charging on Japanese machine gun nests and the like in some of the worst battles of the pacific campaign. Joined army after croatian division hanged his father, mother, grandmother, 4 brothers and 3 sisters, he was just 8 years old. “According to his son Branislav, Momčilo Gavrić had an incident with the law in 1929. He was working in Šabac and Belgrade when he reached the age of conscription, and at the military barracks in Slavonska Požega, he reported that he already had been in the army during the war. He also said that he had been wounded, and had received the Albanian Commemorative Medal. However, an ethnic Croat in the Royal Yugoslav Army tried to push Gavrić into signing a confession that he had told a lie. He refused, and was sent to prison, spending two months there.”

My mom was 12 when WWII started. About 5 years ago she said she wondered how many US WWII vets were still alive. I think at the Nolan Ryan American former professional baseball pitcher Retro T-Shirt in contrast I will get this time it was about 300,000. It’s now 119,000 out of 16.1 million. About 131 US WWII vets die every day. The youngest vet to serve was Graham, but he died when he was only 62. There’s a support group for all the US vets who lied about their age to get into the service. Unless Bob Kelso died in the past 2 years, he’s the youngest living WWII vet. He enlisted at age 13.

His enlistment was considered fraudulent. It was voided, per the Nolan Ryan American former professional baseball pitcher Retro T-Shirt in contrast I will get this Navy regulations. From the US Government’s perspective, he never enlisted. No enlistment, no discharge, no benefits, no medals. Never happened. Thereupon on April 5, 1943, the enlistment of Calvin Leon Graham was canceled. Since the enlistment was considered void, upon cancellation of his enlistment and release from the Navy he was paid no accrued pay and allowances and no travel allowance. Also, since his enlistment was considered void, he was given no credit for the military service for the period August 16, 1942, to April 5, 1943 (7 months and 13 days including 4 months and 16 days of foreign and/or sea service), and no mustering-out pay.

His medals were …stripped? By the Nolan Ryan American former professional baseball pitcher Retro T-Shirt in contrast I will get this corps that he fought for…? Weird. Aged 12, or 80, if he did things to deserve those medals I don’t see why they should’ve been revoked & taken. There’s so many more stories to know about Calvin’s life. I don’t think “mom” saw him on a newsreel, she was just a bitch who squealed on him. He and his bro had moved into a boarding house to get away from the abusive home. He took a face full of shrapnel so his medical benefits were stripped too. He married and divorced by 17 then joined the Marines! He died of CHF at 62 but the Purple Heart was finally given to his widow. The Navy needs to give his medals back to him, he earned them the same as anyone else did, albeit very underage lmao. He went in with some friends that were 14-16 singing up. He kind of slipped in with that group. The dentist inspecting his teeth gave him some shit about how young he was but let him though.

Holy shit – Guadalcanal was one of (if not THE) hardest battles in the Nolan Ryan American former professional baseball pitcher Retro T-Shirt in contrast I will get this Pacific theatre. Come on!!!! I hope his citations were reinstalled! “Whoops, it looks like you performed these acts of heroism at an age a few years below the limit. We therefore decide your actions were not heroic and strip you of your medals” Look up the 14 year old 82nd airborne WW2 paratrooper who jumped into combat twice only for his mom or parents to find out he joined He may have had a rare genetic mutation that causes testotoxicosis, also known as precocious puberty. The writer of the attached article had this mutation as did his father and grandfather who was able to join the military in his early teens. A 4 year old trapped in a teenagers body.
It’s ironic there’s people here that wouldn’t agree about a 12 year old not being old enough to do any other things but agree with this story being fine. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter reinstated Graham’s military honors—minus the Nolan Ryan American former professional baseball pitcher Retro T-Shirt in contrast I will get this Purple Heart—and granted him an honorable discharge for his Navy service Any reason why the Purple heart was intentionally left out? it was reinstated later, but it seems weird to be left out. It’s absolutely insane to think, that back then you could just be like “yup, I’m 18,” and they’d just hand you papers and then send you to one of the most horrific battles of all time. My grandpa was a dentist at an induction station in WW2. They were often the ones that caught the underage kids trying to enlist. They could usually tell your age by looking at the molars. My Pop Pop lied about his age to enlist to impress my Mom Mom who was just his girlfriend at the time. He was 17. He was a combat medic and took a bullet in the Battle of the Bulge while he was sewing up injured soldiers under heavy machine gun fire. They tried to give him a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star and he declined because he told his mom he was a Chaplain’s assistant and was very far from the front lines. He had to find battlefield witness to testify that he declined the medals and to his actions that day and got the medals when he was in his 60s
If he was outed while he was still underage, just give him an honorable discharge and let him re-enlist when he’s the Nolan Ryan American former professional baseball pitcher Retro T-Shirt in contrast I will get this right age. Then count his previous service towards his total years of service. It was so easy not to screw up that situation. Stripped? They should have given him another medal! But then again, they probably don’t want to admit they enlisted a 12 year old. Or encourage other children to join… except via video games. How did he end up joining and passing at 12??? Run away from home, walk in smoking a cigarette and holding a coffee saying that they stunted his growth? Man, meanwhile, my grandfather at 16 got injured by a nearby explosion during training for the Navy and they got his real age in the hospital and gave him an “other than honorable” discharge before he could even get deployed. Some kids have all the fun.
