My Daddy was in the Armed Guard. A few years ago he asked me if I had ever heard Swinging on a Star. I had heard it but really never realized it was a song from the WWII era. I sent him the CD and it must have brought back all kinds of memories for him. Additionally, I was at a public auction in Hillsboro, MO this past weekend and a gentleman was wearing a baseball hat with "Armed Guard" across the front. I had a great conversation with him. He was excited that I recognized him as a member of the Armed Guard - he said not many people know of them.
