days before getting word to
return to New Guinea. iVe were
sjfid we had to return ‘cm oau
own poorer;*' as it was too dan-
gerous to send in a ship to pock
us up. Wish no compass. we had
to follow me stars and the Big
Dcppet. Esa route to HoHandia.
New Gssnea we had to in-pass
300 smites rtf open ocean and a
pOTtteri rtf land oointrolted bv the
Japanese. VNe veered to the
tesnSh and when w hh New
re were TOO miles from
from page 3
where we had expected to be ...
but at least we were alive.
We pulled into Finchaven,
New Guinea where I told the
base commander the landing
barges wre had been using were
badh damaged. The comman-
der sent us In' plane back to Oro
Bay to pick up new barges for
the next landing. When we final-
ly go! to HoWandia, the base was
secure. This led us to the next
phase of the war ... the Phili-
ppines.
Now a master sergeant I was
put in charge of LCMs (mecha-
nized landing crafts). At this
point 1 no longer had the chance
to continue mv war journal, but
1 served until the war ended.
My family had moved during
my three and one-halt years
overseas so when I returned
home I didn't know how- to find
them I was dropped off in
Waxahachie where 1 circled the
square looking for familiar faces.
Eventually the local police asked
ii 1 needed help, and I told them
mv store.
The last 1 knew, my family
was in Ovilla. The police took
me to an aunt's house there, and
she was able to direct me to my
family's new home in Cedar Hill
... 1 have been here ever since.

For Appointment
For years Curtis met with other war vets outside Sim's Drive
Im in Cedar Hill to share war stories and reminisce. Curtis also
logged some of the comments he heard veterans make from the
church bench where they used to meet:
"America's World War II generation did not, as a group,
achieve the heroism of an individual like Joan of/Arc, nor is there
any evidence that their 'souls were touched by fire/ as Oliver
Wendell Homes, Jr. described the experience of the Civil War
when he had grown old. But isn't it fitting that victory in the most
intense, deadly and important struggle in human history should
seem sort of ordinary7 to those who won it, and those who bene-
fited?"
"America's World War II generation
younger and there are fewer everyday.'
.. they're not getting any
"America's World War II generation saved the world because it
had to be done and no one else was available to do it."
"It isn't that Russians, who actually broke the Wehrmacht, or
Chinese, who held Japan's best troops in a death grip, or British
or French or any of the rest of the world's peoples, didn't win the
war But they didn't save the world from an unspeakable global
war. That was the Americans — when, as Winston Churchill Said,
the 'new world came to the rescue of the old.'
"But they weren't vast forces of history, or legendary warriors.
They weren't even all combat soldiers or Rosie the Riveters. They
were ordinary people — my uncle Ed, and your mom and dad —
who lived in an extraordinary time and who did what had to be
done."
"So what that 50 years ago a lot of people killed and died for
famous victories? This isn't about anniversaries or the all-World
War II newsreel channel thJt every cable TV system seems to
have. It's about the old guy you see on the street, with a little
poppy in his lapel, or die blue-haired woman who forgets things
and who rides the bus."
*
"Let's take a long, last look at these people now, while we still
have the chance."
"No one has ever achieved anything like their achievement
before — and, God willing, no one will ever have to do anything
like it again."
