E.J. Dumornay History 2 10/20/08  Selective Service and the G.I.    Name: James Hartsfield Date of Birth: March 16, 1904 Main event taking place at this time: World War II  Occupation: Servicemen Background: I served in World War II and returning home trying to find the best way to adapt to the rapid changes happening in my country. In 1944 a social adjustment was being made, me and my family adjusted to the changes brought on by the war as best as we could. The war was still going on. I went to the nearest recruting office because for the past 2years war was all i knew. Times were hard in the war just taking it day by day, minute by minute, and shot by shot but you get used to it after a while. G.I. stands for Government Issue this was the name us veterans gave ourselves (Greenberg, 2). The war really gave a helping hand to me and my family. Times were still hard so everything that they gave was very much appreciated. The war was hard so training was much needed. in a short period the training camps turned young men into fighting machines. Many men like myself who are war veterans are given the same opportunity as me and making a change for a better them, for a better us, and for a better nation. Thank You.
