Origin[]
Calving Graham was the youngest U.S. serviceman to serve and fight during World War II. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the United States Navy from Houston, Texas on August 15, 1942, at the age of 12. He served aboard the USS South Dakota until he was released from duty when they discovered his true age. Afterwards, he tried serving in the US Marine Corps, but had to leave when he broke his back. He fought for payment of his medical expenses and reinstatement of his military awards for the remainder of his life. He received federal aid from President Ronald Reagan and had his last medal, his Purple Heart, returned after his death.
Effects[]
The suit only works upon children and sometimes teenagers. They will have to fill an adult’s responsibilities such as taking care of the children, working or enlisting if necessary. The user will suffer from several costly medical injuries. This will worsen any financial problems they have and make it harder to maintain their responsibilities. All of their work will go unrecognized by most and be seen as a disgrace by others.
