Several months away his dad passed away; then Joe induced his mother to renounce government aid in order that he could volunteer to serve in the armed forces. She finally consented to his wishes. Joe was educated in Chicago schools, although it is interesting to note that most of his education was across, for he was bom in Hungary. This is just another example of the eagerness of American citizens of Hungarian descent to serve this — our beloved country.
