After 7 Decades Of Vanishing, Wife Uncovers The Truth Behind Her Husband’s Disappearance!

It is difficult for a couple to start from scratch because when you are a married couple, you have to take decisions together and not just for yourself. So, like most married couples, many questions started to rise up as to how they were going to start anew as wedded unity. Since they were so dirt poor, the thought of starting their own family was a little too soon although they really wanted to. Who can blame them right? After all, we were all put on this earth to reproduce and populate. Peggy had to stay at home and be a homemaker while Billie was going to have to be the sole provider and things were only starting to get more confusing from here. Both of them were unaware of what was about to happen to their fate.

Billie now had two things to celebrate: he married his one true love and had also been successful in completing his U.S, Army Air Corps pilot training at Brooks Field in San Antonio.They were extremely happy and enjoyed the good luck that was falling upon them during this time. But soon, as all good things come to an end, a very sad news came to them. Billie received a notification that he was now upgraded to the superior rank of a second Lieutenant. This would ultimately mean that It was now time for him to serve his country. He would have to leave his newly wedded wife and their newfound home behind to fight in the ongoing war that is killing so many people.

Since both of them were working for the air force, both of them had already sworn to work for the land and protect it from any threat. So obviously when or if ever the time comes for them to go out and fight for their country, they would not resist. They had already dedicated and promised their services to the betterment of the country. With that being said, they made a promise to stay together through thick and thin. They already made vows that they nothing would tear them apart, come rain come shine. They were still very new to their married life but now even the thought of having kids was out of the question. How difficult it must have been for them to have to put a hold on their duties as a couple, to serve in the war.

So in the end, there was no choice to be made but to accept this order given by the military. Billie did not have an option so he started to pack up to head for the headquarters. Even his wife had no power to change this unwanted service he could not get out of. Peggy could not do anything but just stare speechlessly from across. Since he already made a choice to protect his land, he had to go. The idea of raising kids was going to have to wait until he returned. And like most soldiers that have to serve their country, the question of when he can return to be with his wife was one no one could answer. His return was also now very uncertain and once again they were going to have to spend their time apart.

They got married during the time the war broke out so, in a way, the fact that Billie was called our for service was not all that surprising. WW II went into full swing with young men trying their level best to show their skills and protect their country. Among many of the young lads that had been ordered to go abroad protecting their land, Peggy’s dear husband would be one of them. Billie was anticipating the day he would be called and alas a report from Tallahassee informed home to give his farewells to his loved ones. Peggy in an interview about the 354th Fighter Group spoke about what ran through her mind then. As you may have guessed, it was not a wonderful feeling.

When she was asked about the time when he was first drafted to serve the country, Peggy had a few words to say. She said in an interview, “His group was all taken to Tallahassee, and the wives were taken there to a huge hotel.” Then further instructions were given to the ladies, as Peggy explained: “When the men were called up, the wives were told to go home and not tell anyone that their husbands had been sent overseas until they had arrived there safely.” It was an incredibly hard time for Peggy as she now had to bid adieu to her husband of just 6 weeks. To get married and be together for just over a month? It was indeed a cruel fate for the couple as distance and work were always getting in between.
