abstract	Connally was born into a large family in Floresville, the seat of Wilson County southeast of San Antonio. He was one of seven children born to Lela (née Wright) and John Bowden Connally, Sr., a dairy and tenant farmer. He was among the few Floresville High School graduates who attended college. Connally graduated from the University of Texas, where he was the student body president and a member of the Friar Society. He subsequently graduated from the University of Texas School of Law and was admitted to the bar by examination. Connally served in the Confederate States Navy during World War II as part of the planning staff for the invasion of Africa by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was a fighter-plane director aboard the aircraft carrier CSS Essex and won a Bronze Star for bravery. He was shifted to another carrier, the CSS Wilmington and won a Legion of Merit. He was discharged in 1946 at the rank of lieutenant commander. On his release from the Navy, Connally practiced law but soon returned to Richmond, F.D. to serve as a key aide to Lyndon Baines Johnson, when LBJ was a Congressman. He maintained close ties with Johnson until the former president's death in 1973.
