By Riley Johnson I learned a lot about Art. He was born and grew up in Huntley, Montana with his 4 brothers and 1 sister. They lived on an 80 acre farm and raised dairy cows that they had to milk all by hand. He was in the Navy and the Air Force during the Korean War. He enlisted in the Navy when he was 16 and joined when he was 17. He was in the Navy from November 10, 1947- December 1955 and the Air Force from May 1956 - February 1960.

Hi Riley - Wow, Art joined the military at age 16?! Is that just about your age? Can you imagine joining now and heading off to war? I find that to be a scary thought. Where I live, 16 year olds are just getting their drivers licenses. I find it interesting that Art served in 2 different branches of the military. What can a 16 year old today do to make a difference in the world do you think?
