He attended an all-black high school that wasn&#8217;t credentialed through 12th grade. Shipley would have had to travel to Sedalia for his final year, and he didn&#8217;t have the resources to do so.<\/p>\n<p>He had not yet finished high school when he went into the Army, and went to war. I can only say BZ to his drive to complete his mission.
