Viola entered the US military service in 1944 and attained the rank of Corporal in the US Marine Corps.
NOTE: 15 Mar 1997: Betty Gene (Czudek) LEWIS, step sister to Viola, has the original US Marine Corps Enlistment Notification dated 19 April, 1944. Viola worked in an airplane factory during her military service.
Betty also has a newspaper article regarding an ex-Marine woman's work project that Viola participated in at the El Cajon Memorial Building on 21 Feb 1949. (I believe this is/was located somewhere in Texas at that time.)
I discovered Viola's burial location using the US Dept of Veterans Affairs Grave Locator service.
