Arriving in Sacramento, California--October 29, 1945--Camp Beale

October 29, 1945--Arrive in Sacramento, California, at Camp Beale.  Got discharged from the Army. Took the bus and got home at last on November 2, 1945 at 8 p.m., about two years and 8 months after leaving.

Author's Note:
By September 1945, when World War II ended, Camp Beale's Personnel Replacement Depot had sent over 225,000 men overseas. Others entered the service there, as Beale was also an induction center. Eighty thousand others were processed through Beale's Reception Station before it moved to Fort Ord, California in December 1946. Camp Beale was also a Separation Center, which discharged 387,174 men and women before it closed in April 1947.     --Wikipedia
