It gets hot and dry during July in Oklahoma, so we looked forward to the fourth of July for several days before it’s arrival, because we knew that it meant we would get into our 33 Chevrolet and head for the old Deep Fork River where we could cool off and have some good old fashioned fun.

We made sure that we had our case of pop that usually consisted of a mixture of orange, strawberry, grape, cream soda, root beer and Coca cola.

HARLEY XA AND MILTON LONG AT FORT KNOX 1943

PVT. Milton Long pictured on his Harley XA and all dressed up to escort President Roosevelt on his trip through Fort Knox on April 29, 1943. LT. John Harley hand picked the bike riders for this duty and due to security reasons the riders were not armed. Long did get to have lunch with the president. Long had the idea of pulling over near the presidents auto and try to shake hands with him, but the presidents dog Fala, showed his teeth and ended the try.

LTC MILTON J. LONG, AUS (RET)

By May 1941, I had completed basic and was assigned to my unit. Every morning, we fell out for roll call and "announcements." One we feared most, was KP. Guess who got it for a week? Yes sireee bob! So, at 4:00 AM the C Q came in, got us up and we were at the mess hall by 5:00 AM. The first day, after breakfast was over and pots and pans were cleaned, The Mess Sgt. lined us up and introduced himself and told us what he expected for the next 7 days. After he was done talking to us, he asked if anyone could type. The whispers went that it was a trick!
