Rodger Young Village

My mom often would refer to Rodger Young Village in Los Angeles, California, when she talked about growing up.  Her brother fought in World War II and so after the war,  my mom's family was provided temporary housing at Rodger Young Village.  She always mentioned she lived in a Quonset Hut so finally, one day, I looked it up and saw what they looked like.  Recently,  I was curious to know more about who Rodger Young was.  I learned he was only 28 years old when he died and was awarded the medal of honor because he was responsible for several enemy casualties and enabled his platoon to withdraw without loss before he was killed.  It is interesting to me how my mom's life is so tied to major historical events.
