My grandfather, who died last year, heard the news on the farm in west TN. Immediately left school, hitchhiked to Memphis, took the train to New Orleans and joined the Navy.

He lied about his age but was super small so they had him working in the shipyard for 2 years before he was allowed to join the regular fleet and deploy to the Pacific.
