Erling Rolfsrud got drafted in 1943 into the World War II U.S. Army. He took a train to Minneapolis, flunked the physical, and took the train back to Moorhead. He was at Ft. Snelling overnight. At the time he didn't know he was going to be rejected, of course, and he wrote this Post Card home to his wife. The Army provides pencils, postcards and postage to all inductees, along with orders to write home. On the flip side of the Ft. Snelling postcard shown below, Dad wrote:
"Have our bunks for the night, have eaten our first chow and now are off to a Post movie - to kill time! Love, E."Take it from someone who has been there. He sounds upbeat, but E was scared.
