Henry was drafted out of his junior year of high school in 1943. He was inducted March 19, 1943. He was wounded in New Guinea. He received the Purple Heart, Combat Infantry Badge, Asiatic Pacific Theater Ribbon, Good Conduct Ribbon and one Bronze Battle Star. He received a wound in the thigh caused by shrapnel and it became grangrenous. He very nearly lost his leg. He spent a long time in the hospital and eventually was able to use his leg pretty well. He ended up with what the army called a 30% disability. He was honorably discharged on July 7, 1945.
He was trained as a watch repairman. He did not follow that occupation because it made him too nervous. He worked for the Veterans Administration Hospital for about 35 years. He started as a nurses aid, then worked in the warehouse. He ended up being an electrician for the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Hospital in California.
