1LT Selby Ansel Dotters, Jr. served proudly and with distinction during World War II. But he'd be the first to tell you he didn't start with wings and a commission. Oh no. He started as a $21-a-month Private at Fort Lewis, Washington, wearing the 4th Army patch below.

4th Army was activated in 1932 as a training Army, based at the Presidio in San Francisco, with a primary mission to defend the Pacific Coast.

This is part of the reason, no doubt, why Ansel always loved Fort Leonard Wood.
