Other Memories The US Army was famous for it's beer halls in the fifties and sixties. It was common for soldiers to receive their pay and celebrate the event at their local PX Beer Hall. These were elaborate wooden halls with many wooden picnic tables available in each. Don was one of the many soldiers during that time that was encouraged to drink alcohol. Beers were less than 5 cents each.
Don's rank suffered due to each of these events. One day a Sergeant, the next a Private. He was promoted to Sergeant many times during his service. Unfortunately, his discharge came just after he had been demoted again.
