He worked in the air force, but because of multiple injuries he decided to enter radio where he excelled. During his time as a Radioman 3rd Class Paul saw the tragedy of war. He recalls seeing thousands of white crosses marking all that had died, and starts to get emotional. He also recalls a conversation with the captain of a ship sinking in a typhoon. He had to tell the captin that they could not get a bearing on their location. The captain thanked him and abandoned ship. In the midst of all this tragedy however, Paul recalls the most peaceful feeling of his life (see quote above). Paul Ware sent messages that helped turn the tide of the war when facing the Japanese on the pacific front. The picture below shows Paul Ware (right) with a navy buddy who later lost his life in war.

After the war Paul could have stayed in the Navy but instead went to college with the help of the G.I. bill. In college Paul studied to become an engineer. He then married his high school sweet-heart, Mary.
