Staff Sergeant Burris entered the Army (Air Force) in 1943 and served until 1945 in the 446th Bomb Group, 8th Air Force. Interviewed by George Walters on May 5, 2006, Burris talked about military experiences in the Second World War. The 2005 Kansas Legislature passed a bill funding the WWII Veterans Oral History grant program. This transcript is from one of the nine community institutions that received these grants. The transcript from the interview is presented here; the original audio copy of the interview is available through the Emporia State University (Flint Hills) and through the Kansas State Historical Society.
