Gale Schnieder oral history recording

An audio recording of an oral history of Gale Schnieder on the Korean War. Schnieder iscusses his induction into the army in 1950, training at Camp Polk and Japan, then into Korea. He worked as a mail clerk. He was aware of the nuclear threat and familiar with Communism, but kept clear of propaganda. Schnieder discusses local efforts for war, not political. He was exposed to polio as a child but never got the disease. He describes Hillsboro as an average American community.
