Stanley Smolik was in the United States Marines during World War II. He worked in Intelligence, and served in three campaigns in Roi Namur, Saipan, and Tinian. During these campaigns, he ruptured his tympanic membrane, and injury that resulted in his discharge, despite his desire to stay in the Marines. Smolik recounts the very romantic story of how he met his wife while he was in the service. Very serendipitously, she was waiting for the bus while he was buying a pack of cigarettes on his way to Camp Elliott in California. She wrote to him every day while he was overseas. When he got home, they met in person again and were married. He served as Cpl with 4th Marine Division. He served as D-2 Scout Marine in three campaigns. | Stanley Smolik was in the United States Marines during World War II.
