There can be no doubt that a war is the sorriest
way to run a world that man can imagine. You
won’t dispute it if you’ve ever been in a war; those
who haven’t had that experience might think that
wars are not so bad.
You might run into a few World War II veterans
today who say they enjoyed being in the armed
forces during those years, but chances are those who
say that were never in combat or they escaped from
the war with their bodies and minds in good health.
But by and large, war is no way to live.
No matter. Every veteran today has memories
that he treasures almost more than any he acquired
in civilian life. And everyone acquired friends like
he had never had before or since, although most of
the friendships lasted only during the days of armed
service.
It seemed funny at the time, but the most cordial
welcome we WWII boys received after discharge
from the armed forces was from those good old
boys from WWI. And the most surprising, those
guys were old! — some even in their 50s, but old!
But they understood what was happening to the new
veterans.
My WWII days began at Fort Sam Houston in
San Antonio after an all-night train ride. After a
week there enduring drills, inspections, KP, most
were hoping the war would be over before another
week went by.
It was on the train ride to Tampa, Florida that
one of my most memorable friendships began.
Most of the guys on the train were Texans going
to the new part of Drew Field, and this big old boy
from a nearby county was one of them. He had been
stranded at Fort Sam three or more months because
the army didn’t have a coat (blouse, the army called
it) to fit him. He was only about six feet, six and
weighed about 250, very little of it fat. Now he had
the blouse and two barracks bags full of stuff, just
like all GIs.
He was an A&M graduate which he mentioned
frequently, and he was ready for anything that came
along. During the more than two years we were
together, we learned more than we cared to know
about close-order drill, for the army didn’t know

what else to do with the approximately 190 men
waiting on a radar unit.
This big fellow had a weight problem and fought
it. Sometime during the summer months, he played
basketball while wearing a slicker suit.
He returned to the army after the war and stayed
until retirement as a colonel. And now, they tell me,
he is a county judge.
Another colorful character we had as a friend
was named Garvin, a graduate of Virginia Military
Institute who had been a barge hand on the Missis-
sippi and other waters and whose ambition was to
return to barge work.
Old Garvin was close to no one but was liked by
all. In the two years I knew him, he might have re-
ceived two letters and probably wrote fewer than
that. Talk about a loner, he tended strictly to his
own business and seldom left camp. When he did, it
was on payday, and he bought a bottle of gin and
went to a movie double feature — it didn’t matter
what was on — and always sat in the balcony, sip-
ping from his bottle.
One of my very best friends was an old Miami
boy. We were together since Drew Field but became
friends only after we left New York for the second
tour in Florida. He had a pock-marked face and one
of the fastest tongues on the East Coast. We shared
our pay checks and confidences of our ups and
downs.
Old Miami looked me up 15 or 20 years after the
war, but it wasn’t the same. He had kept growing,
in the middle and possibly weighed 200 pounds,
whereas, during the war, he was around 150 and
once had been a Golden Gloves champ.
He came by for a visit, along with his third wife,
while enroute from Florida to California. He was a
traffic expert.
Whoever hired old Miami got one of the best. So
were they all: The best.
