In 1941 he was called to serve on active duty as an officer in the US Army Dental Corps. He participated in the US landing near Oran, North Africa in Nov. 1942. While stationed in North Africa in 1943 he injured a nerve in his right arm during an air raid blackout. Despite treatment, the injury was permanent so he was unable to continue dentistry, and he received a medical discharge in 1944. Dad later returned to school and received a B.S. degree in 1955 from the University of North Dakota and his M.D. degree from the University of Vermont in 1957.
