E. R. Robert Kluge presented Homer L. Ward his certificate as the Elks Veteran of the Month for June.
Homer began his 16 week basic training on March 10, 1953 at  Breckinridge, KY.  He then completed 8 week of leadership training.  
As I awaited my transfer from Fort Lewis, WA to Japan, the 1st Sergeant learned that I had barbering skills and they began sending everyone to me for hair cuts and this continued on the ship to Japan.  It also allowed me to avoid guard duty and K.P.   Eventually I earned more money as a barber than a soldier on the trip.
