Anselmo was combat wounded as he fought for his country during the Korean War during six combat campaigns. He continued to serve in both the Marines and Air Force until he retired as a Master Sergeant after 21 years of service. He subsequently went on to work in a variety of capacities for the next several decades. He was the first in his family to graduate from college and received several degrees.

He enjoyed following politics and, just like his father, he was a candidate for several political seats including City Council, Governor, U.S. Congress, and U.S. Senate. Of all of his many accomplishments, his greatest joy and accomplishment in life was his family. His life was enriched with the birth of each of his seven children, Jacqueline, Mark, Jack, Arthur, Varn, Margaret, and Marie.
