Bio
Don Draper is the Creative Director at the Sterling Cooper advertising agency. He hasn't always held that job, of course, or even always had that identity.
Draper fought in World War II and assumed the identity of a fallen fellow soldier once he returned to the States. Therefore, the world of advertising is a perfect fit: Don's entire life is selling a version of himself to those around him.
He lives in Ossining, New York, with his wife Betty and their two children, Sally and Bobby.

Actually, Don Draper's character fought in Korea. You can tell by his age, the timeline and his flashbacks - they are historically accurate with the gear, equipment and solders. When he talks about the war with the other partner, Roger Sterling, they compare wars. Don's Korea war and Roger's WWII.
