1399th Engineer Construction Battalion
Military Enlistment
Out of work, Kenneth thinks he "might as well do something." Underage for the draft in February 1942, he volunteers for military service.
His father is "mad like hell," when he hears about Kenneth's enlistment.
En route to Oahu, Kenneth observes a few AJA draftees crying and embracing their parents aboard ship. He discovers the parents are being held in the upper deck of the ship and being transported to internment camps.
