BIOGRAPHY

I Virgil Wenger was deferred to the farm of my Father's during the war. I helped my neighbors and uncles do farming, butchering hogs and beef. At the end of the war I was drafted and sent to Japan during the occupation. I helped build the road from Tokyo down to Yokohoma. This was where I was stationed.
