Title	Oral history interview with John C. Juhl recorded on 2009 Apr. 11.
Description	Interview conducted by Marcy Cain. John Juhl enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1942 because he felt a deep obligation to his country. He went to basic training at the training base in Newport, R.I. After completion he tested into a program where he went to school for machining, which he attended until Dec. of 1942. He was then assigned to the U.S.S. Delta, a repair ship, and in March of 43’ the ship sailed for Oran, in North Africa. After working for many months on repairs in Oran, the ship sailed to Bizerte where they encountered attacks by German forces. Although the Delta was a repair ship, they were able to defend themselves, and shot down four planes. The ship then began to assist in the landings of LST ship’s in the battles going on in Sicily, Naples, and Anzio. Juhl was discharged in October of 1945, and was married shortly after. When he and his wife decided to buy a house, Juhl re-enlisted in a reserve unit of the navy for extra income. He was called into active duty shortly after enlistment due to the Korean War. He was shipped to the Mediterranean Sea with the 6th fleet. After being stationed there for eight months, he received notice that he had been assigned to the wrong ship and had to return to the U.S. He was then transferred to the Bureau of Ships, where his job was to identify missing items on board the navy’s ships. After two years in service he was discharged out of St. Albans hospital, after battling a parasitic infection. He then returned home and worked for Bell Laboratories until his retirement in 1986. Juhl has remained active in the VFW and veteran’s affairs.
