the political and other factors. In
my mind, the role from the platoon
prospective is still very vivid. I know
the young faces, their jobs, and in
some cases the names of wives and
sweethearts.
My 92nd birthday will be cele-
brated in 2014. Young people ask me
if I was ever in the service. I say that
I was in WWII and all subsequent
operations as a professional officer
until retirement in 1971, as a mili-
tary base commander. Some have
never heard of WWII. A veteran of
WWII was introduced to an audi-
ence as a WW eleven survivor. I
have seen TV news spots where a
young Russian bride and groom
would place flowers at a memorial
to honor the Russian soldiers and
civilians that perished in what they
called the Great Patriotic War. I hope
our successive generations will be
taught to understand the price older
generations have paid for their
liberty. May God continue to bless
America.
During the Korean War,
Vietnam, Cuban Missile Crisis,
Dominican Revolution, and other
assignments, my military duties re-
quired my absence from important
family events like First Holy Com-
munion, school graduations, wed-
dings, and the like. My children
have no knowledge of my service.
They only know that Dad was in the
Army. For that reason I am drafting
a book from my WWII notes and
letters for them with the title
My Journey. It is intended for family
distribution in about a year.
Dr. Chang: Colonel, it is truly an
honor to meet you and to be able to
personally thank you for your coura-
geous service to our country. EW
