Here's A Case
When You Do
'Sir' Sergeant
FT. JACKSON S. C. (AFPS)—
One of the oldest of military
jokes concerns the bewildered
rookie who persists in saying
"Sir" to a sergeant much to
the latter's annoyance.
But now Ft. Jackson comes up
with a six-striper who actually
rates the salutation. He's MSgt.
Michael A. Cardone a bona fide
knight who wears the Order of
the Crown of Italy.
A combat veteran who dates
his Army service from 1940
"Sir Michael" was with the
Allied assault forces when
they hit Sicily in July 1943.
Later he served with the Pro
vost Marshal's Office in the
Palermo area.
Touched by the want of the
defeated Italians that he saw on
every side in his official duties
Cardone who speaks Italian flu
ently was zealous in tracking
down hi-jackers who were direct
ing food and other relief items
from the United States into the
black market.
Every night for 10 days he led
a party on surveillance missions
and on the tenth night hit pay-
dirt by nabbing 13 guerrillas red-
handed seven miles above the Pa
lermo railhead thereby saving
five tons of food from the black
market.
Transferred to Rome Cardone's
efforts to relieve Italian suffer
ing came to the attention of a
high official who presented his
name to Prince Humbert of Savoy.
The age old plea: "I wish I
had is no relief when you're
