Notes:

From Moody Lee Lammon -

Born on the farm and was deaf until an operation restored his hearing. I was told many times how amazed he was to hear the swamp frogs for the first time. I still have a 22 cal. Winchester rifle he bought new from a hardware store for three dollars. Moved from the farm to Columbus, Georgia when he was twelve. A very outstanding tool and die maker with the Army ordnance at Fort Benning, Georgia, as a member of the Army Field Board No. 4 that was devoted to developing and improving of small arms, instruments and other needs for the Army. This job required a top-secret clearance. The F.B.I. spent three months investigating his past and family history. Most of this time was spent around Hartford, Alabama. ord, Alabama.

At the beginning of World War 2, the draft board had him to report to Atlanta, Georgia for military service three times and each time the F.B.I. appeared and returned him to Fort Benning. After this he was put on a permanent deferment from military service. Retired from Civil Service, Fort Benning, Georgia." __ Moody Lee Lammon, 2000.

"Born in Phenix City, Ala. and moved across the river to Columbus, Ga. when I was three months old. Had a happy childhood growing up in a neighborhood with many children my age. The Army called in 1950. I missed going to Korea by the skin of my teeth. Completed basic training and advanced artillery (155 mm Howitzer) at Fort Benning Ga. next to my hometown.
