Part 2/8:
Jim Morrison was born into a military family in Melbourne, Florida, on December 8, 1943. His father, Admiral George Morrison, was a commander during the Gulf of Tonkin incident, an event that played a significant role in the escalation of the Vietnam War. The strict military upbringing imposed on Jim often uprooted him from schools and friendships, leaving a significant impact on his formative years. Growing up amidst instability, Jim developed an intense inner life, often seeking solace in books, poetry, and the creations of iconic writers.
