Lakes, Michigan, he was an enlisted man stationed aboard
the USS Haskell, APA 117, crewman of one of their 28
landing crafts scheduled to invade the home islands of
Japan. Discharged from the navy in August 1946, Phil
signed up for the army in 1948, and attended officers
training with Class 9-A of Officer Candidate School, Fort
Riley, Kansas. Following graduation, Second Lieutenant
Phil Kline was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. Within weeks,
North Korea invaded South Korea. By the time Phil was to
go, Eighth Army had been sent to defend South Korea.
When the war was over, he resigned his commission. After
attending numerous reunions with comrades who had
served in Korea—and just prior to the fiftieth anniversary of
the Korean War—Phil traveled 18,000 miles to interview
them on video and to record their stories. ONE HELLUVA
SOLDIER was inspired by true incidents and real
soldiers.lihat lebih sedikit
