Title	Oral history interview with Albert J. Holmes recorded 2009 Dec. 19
Description	Interview conducted by Tom Bienemann. Albert “Buzz” Holmes was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1945 just after the Battle of the Bulge had ended. He went to Camp Gordon, Ga. for his basic training and then traveled overseas on a troop ship. Although the bombs had already been dropped on Japan, the troops were not aware that the war had been declared over until the ship reached Hawaii. The soldiers continued on to the Pacific theater and became occupation forces in Korea. Holmes worked assorted jobs while he was stationed in Korea, including as an MP and as a typist. In late 1946, he was sent back to the United States and discharged from the army. After his discharge, Holmes used the GI Bill for his education, obtaining both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in history, with which he became a high school teacher.
