The story of the 203rd Coast Artillery Battalion (AA) has been selected by the researcher because the story of the 203rd CAB (AA) who served in World War II is not well known. The story of the 203rd CAB (AA) is not a story of great heroism that romanticizes World War II. The story told here is that of simple men from Missouri that joined the National Guard because of brotherhood and a sense of duty to family and home. These men went on a journey that took them thousands of miles from home, however, the mobilization of the 203rd CAB (AA) did not cause them to lose their connection to home.
