HALSTEAD—As a teenager in the 1940s, Wilbert Nachtigal said he had been “very anx- ious” to become old enough to serve in World War II. At age 17, the Halstead native decided to skip his senior year of high school so he could join the Marines on Aug. 1, 1945. “It seemed like the pa- triotic thing to do,” he said. “There was a lot of patriotism at that time, compared to today.” The war was already drawing to a close when he signed up “for the du- ration of national emer- gency.” He attended a Marine boot camp in San Diego. “Boot camp for me was fairly easy, insomuch as I was lightweight, light build,” he said. “As far JARED JANZEN/STAFF as obstacle courses and Wilbert Nachtigal of Halstead holds up a photo of his training squad during boot camp at the end running, it was not a of World War II.
