Corporal Demenza grew up in Tampa, Florida.  He enlisted in the US Army and went through training to be in the Infantry.  A unique pre-service course on drafting however, changed how he would serve.  As a result, he found himself in Japan as the war came to a close and became part of the effort to redistribute assets deployed on behalf of the US military to Japan.  Offered the opportunity to obtain a commission and turn in his Corporal stripes to become an officer, Harry chose a path he long desired from his days growing up.
