Looked him up to see if there were any extant draft/enlistment records concerning him but I couldn't find any. This doesn't mean that he didn't serve, though.

Yep you would rarely see anyone get one in memory, that's definitely one to show you either shed blood or you popped some Nazi's.

He was born in 1927. Mafiawiki got it wrong.
Interesting. It's probable then he did serve.

Then more then likely he was drafted at 17 or 18.

That's what I would have thought too, but figured he was serving but I don't remember when he was born. Remember we did have a few 16 and 17 year olds serving whose parents lied to get them in. My Grandfather and Uncle were two that I can think of. My Uncle joined the Marines and they found out he was too young and kicked him out, so he went to the Army and they welcomed him :lol:

How old was Sonny Red at that time?

Holland was liberated from the Nazis in 1945, so it's some kind of WWII reference. He was too young to have been in WWII, so could refer to a relative who served/died.
