OMAHA, Jan. 4 — (AP) — Pfc. John R. Stuhldreier fibbed about his age in order to join the marines.
His mother, Mrs. Joseph L. Stuhldreier, said her son had his heart so set on going into the service that the famildy did not stop him when he was called to report after, unbeknownst to them, he had signed up before his seventeenth birthday.
Today the parents of the former tech high school student received word that he was killed in action somewhere in the south Pacific. He ws not yet 18.
"This is the third gold star in our block," said Mrs. Stuhldreier. "May it be the last."
