dc.descriptionBorn in rural southwest Georgia in 1923, Reuben Griffin was initially deferred by his local draft board because he was considered more useful as a farmer than a soldier. By 1944 the need for soldiers was so great that Griffin had to leave his farm behind. He completed training at Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia, and spent a year as part of an occupational force in Japan. He worked in insurance sales after the war and settled in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He recorded his oral history interview at Kennesaw State University in April 2016.
