The Watson Family
When World War II tolled around Bill Watson of Westbrook, Maine desperately wanted to go with his friends. He was found to have a critical civilian occupation and refused the right to enlist.

I'm honoring my Uncle Stowell. Stowell was the oldest of ten children and a student at the University of Maine at Farmington when he was drafted. Stowell was a role model to his younger siblings. He was helping to support his family and going to school full time. He had to help support his brothers and sisters because his father was killed just a few years before he was drafted. Stowell knew he wouldn't make it back from Korea alive. How sad for his mother and siblings who had just lost their husband/father so tragically.
