Biography of Sidney L Coggins
CCC Man, Unknown Company
Sailor, US Navy, WWII
I was born in Weinert, Texas in 1923. Joined the Civilian Conservation Corps after High School then left CCC to join the Navy. Then after World War II ended I left the Navy and went to work where I met my wife Ann, we have been married for 53 years and have 3 children, and 6 grandchildren.
Life has been good to our family, and after working for more years than I can remember, I retired and started writing a book for the children to know of their background, called "NEVER A HERO".
