Description
Vol. II No. 5 ……. Cover: The cover photograph of this month’s Marine Recruiter appeared in the Nashville, Tenn., Banner and is the work of Hilliard Wood, staff photographer for that newspaper. Posting a Marine Corps Family sticker in the window of her home is Mrs. Floyd D. Brantley of Nashville. Her son, William Joseph Brantley, 20, enlisted at Nashville February 2 and received his recruit training at Paris Island. Another son, Floyd Brantley, Jr., had planned to go with his brother to serve in the Marine Corps, but was rejected because of an eye defect. Although the brothers were disappointed because they were not able to serve together, William went on anyway. The little girl helping Mrs. Brantley paste up the sticker is Nancy Ruth Myatt, two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Myatt, neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Brantley.
