After the war, Samuel Hatcher was moved to Miami, Florida where he stayed in a hospital until he was strong enough to go home. Hatcher remained in the military until 1996 when he was forced to retire. The bullet he was shot with in 1944 is still in his leg. Hatcher now resides in Lauderdale Mississippi at the age of 91.
