    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Lee Scott served in the United States Army (101st Airborne Division) during the Second World War. Interviewed Pattie Johnston on February 2, 2007, Scott talked about his civilian and military experiences. He was born in Turley, Oklahoma. He was one of eleven children and his parents worked in the oil fields for Texaco. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Scott was drafted into the Army and went to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He then became a paratrooper. He was then sent to England while preparing for the Normandy invasion. Scott’s company landed at Sainte-Mère-Église. Following D-Day, Scott went to Holland, where he hid for almost two days in the raptors of a Dutch family’s home while German soldiers moved through the area. From Holland, Scott went to Germany. He discussed his interactions with the German citizens and his experience at the Siege of Bastogne. During his service, Scott was injured twice and received a Purple Heart. Upon returning to the U. S., Scott struggled to adjust to civilian life. He began baking and worked at the chain grocery store, Dillons. Also featured is Scott’s wife, Agnes, whom he married in the 1950s. She talked about growing up in Kansas during World War II and reflected on rationing. Agnes passed away on April 18, 2017.]]></dcterms:description>
