The Billboard
A month later, Giffird was driving down 28th Street in Fort Worth when he saw a large billboard advertising the United States Armed Forces. He stopped at the Recruiting Center and walked inside, where he was greeted by a Marine Corps Sergeant wearing his dress blue uniform. Everywhere he looked, Giffird saw flags.
He followed the sergeant into a small meeting room where they talked for a long time. The young man grew excited about becoming a United States Marine, signing all the required forms to join. All he needed now was his mother’s signature (he was only 17 years old), and Giffird soon convinced her to sign the papers.
