Loyd Laugherty
WWII | 262nd Infantry Regiment, 66th Infantry Division
Loyd Laugherty met a lot of nice guys in basic training and one mean sergeant. When he shipped out for Europe, he was lucky enough to not get on the ship that was torpedoed in the English Channel. He lost a lot of friends when the SS Leopoldville went down. (This interview made possible with the support of COL ROBERT W. RUST, USMCR (ret.) in honor of LtGen Lawrence Snowden & LtGen George Christmas.) (4:11)
