Leon R. Smith was born into a poor family in 1931, but he never let
his modest roots prevent him from chasing his dreams. He was like a
banty rooster, which is a small fighting rooster with a feisty
attitude-one that walks with its chest out, struts its stuff, and
commands the attention of others. At seventeen years old, he joined
the National Guard, and after joining the U.S. Army in November
1948 and completing basic training, he was sent to Japan, where
occupation duty was a soldier's paradise. He spent twenty-five
years in the Army, serving during the Korean War and jungle
fighting in Vietnam. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he could
never be fifteen minutes away from a telephone. If he received a
call and somebody said, "cocked pistol," he had thirty minutes to
start loading his unit on airplanes. After retiring from the Army
in 1970, Smith owned small businesses and became a truck driver,
traveling millions of miles across the United States and Canada.
