WOODSTOCK, N.Y. (AP) -- In 1945, Jay Wenk was a shy Brooklyn boy full of patriotism fed by Life magazine and World War II movies. He signed up and was shipped off at age 18 to fight in Europe.
''I remember riding the first time up to the front and hearing the guns and saying, 'This is exciting!'''
Six decades later, Wenk now fights to stop young people from doing what he did a lifetime ago. He and another World War II era veteran, Joan Keefe, have been arrested twice for distributing anti-enlistment fliers outside a military recruiting center in a mall.
