t"lhrt thc bude cdls"' Julv 261. Ifihe uedition ond me,aning of bugle callsis nd tlhg taught to today's soldierE, itcertninb druld be.

I hrt! vivid memoriee of growing uP

to tb annds of ArmY bugle6. t€t meshsro roe of them with t day'g soldienand military familiee .

In tlrc "Old Army," one did not neada vatch. The time of day, ar well aswhat flor bsing done, was welldelinedfrom dawn until lights out by the bu8lerof the guard. Soldiers develoPcd ribaldwords for many of the ca.lle.

My first memotT of Reveille is in a

converttd wooden bsrrack on "Tte Fill"at Foft Monrce, V8., in the early 1920E.

Awakened by the reveille gun, st thcfirst not€6 of the c.all ("I can't 8€t 'emup. .. ") my father was out of bed andmoetly dressed by the last barst" ..lieut4nants wor8e than a€rr(eanta,and capt'ne worst of ell!").

By mess t"chow") call ("SouPY'souDy, soup, without a aingle bean..."),he iaa readr to wdL to his Dolt in thesubmarine rnine doDlrttltnt of theCo.d Aniuort School.

But it waa 8t Fon Mill! (Corn6idorteland) in the Philippinee in the latel92OB that the r€st of the dsy rcallv be'camo delin€d for me by bugle calls.

We livcd on Topaicle, the hiSh€st pointof the irland, directly acroes from the"milc lond'barracke occupied by the69th and 6oth Cosrt Artillery Begi-ment8. Thsrom, bugle calla wore pirt ofour liyee.

About,16 minutss after mesd csllcanc rit& call ("Look at their eara, lookat thoir a- h--- ... "). Shortly ttrcfe'aftcr came drill call, which ltErt€d ihosofiIDs day for both rogirnents. lt waafotlorrcd bv first €ll, wHch w€ hoar attlc ru ticlr, rnd arrablY ("Thrrc'rr sunt in ths cra tith . hull€8 - -

: "1. AUcr wo d bold thG Lttldt D long ee tho' could to LaD Dl'd.l Erm b.ins ld. fq formttlon.

Once a month we would hesr no &illcall, but at mid-rnorning there would bemv call. As each soldier'g last narue waacailed. he would step forward 8nd salutethe peying otncer, reepond with hio firetnarne, middle initial and Ecrial number,aim witlr hir "payroll 8ign8ture," ro'ceive Nr pay and get the re8t of the dayoff for intortsting activiti€G.

At 1100, we h€ad lirst 8orgrsntE call.It E€emGd Es tfiou8h every orderly roomdor of the "mile [on5" barracts op€n€daitaulbnEully rs two ruaiments of fillteersgants haadod for the oflice of thgr.eqi-rnantel tas maior, clipbogd inUira. Otty l6-Einuta'lstlr came o(fr'all' call, vbaL Yl$ thc !.Ec PrctEPtnG!l, tto rbaiE€nta of battary com-nendrrr burrt out of thait omc€a,br.rAlLu qr thdir aeber+ od hshd fcthc rhitJ conhuca tlth th. rraturt l

Therewere tlroee who cli B€d that thay couldtstl which battery's buglfi wss playing.

Soldiers would compcto to become theunit bugler. Not only did it Dsn eirapay (as did qualifying for rlsrpshootsror export on the rille rangs), but alooexemition from walling post when thobugler's unit drew Suard duty.

I remember srploring ths jungle ofFort Sherman, in iho Can8l Zone, in193?, whetr I met a eoldier of the lctArtillery practicing far from bsrscks tobecomc a buglcr. Whon r privris drEwg2l.OO I day onco a month (with drduc-tions), that e.tra two bucks or 80 wosimDortant!

Robert,

The neerspaper clipping is from the South Bay DailyBreeze, the local newspaper here in Southern CaI. The authoris our very own Eric Diller, 'H" 34th. The sentiments arereflected in all of our thoughts and I figured that youmight find a spot for it in the TL.

The other t\ro items are self explanatory. Tony Apodacaand myself attended the ceremonies and enjoyed i-t verymuch .

Ife rrere contacted by Philippine Consul Melba Limasked to participate. It's my guess that there rrere at1000 Filipino veteranE in the parade. very truthfully,had no idea that there were that many Filipino vets inarea .

But to make a long story short, I had an opportunity totalk to several of them prior to the start of the parade andfound them to be very enthusiastic about meeting someonefrom the 2,lth. who had landed rrith MacArthur- And although Ihadn't actualLy landed on Leyte, (the 21st. Ianded on PanoanIsland, off the southern tip of teyte, to secure a PT baserhich became an jmportant factor during the naval Battle ofteyte culf) the significance made no difference to themi Icame with l{acArthur and that's all there uas to it.

In regard to llacArthur, the Philippinos hold him inthe highe8t esteem. It's my guess that the only thing thatsuatained them follouing the fall of Bataan was his "I shallreturn" promise.

I was about one thousand yards beyond the piIJ- boxes, lrhen Iremarked to ny buddy beside me, rrllo!, did we get here?'r The last rreboth remembered rras Red Newnan's r'EoIIor Uerr. Red Newman was acredit to his training at West Point and his heritage and therecord should be set straight.

vIhile I have ny thoughts rolling, I believe I $ri1l have to setthe record straight on General Douglas lilacArthur. I discussed thiswith Red Nelrman at an earlier convention and he agreed that theGeneraL MacArthur rrMemoirsrr were incorrect.

The ceneral- did not come in on the fourth hrave. llaybe it wasthe fcurih hour?

I remember going back to the beach after setting up theregiroental switchboard, for more rol-Is of wire. I was in the Hq-Hqco 34th Infantry wire platoon - ny wire chief was Sgt. HanfordRants. We lrent back to the beach and lre sar,, ceneral ltacArthurpracticing his landing from the barge, with all the camera men onthe beach and the nicrolihones set up for the General to nake his rfhave returnedrt speech. By this tine all the heavy equipnent hadal.ready been unloaded on the beach!

Thank you for al■ owing me to correct these inaccuracies.

anniversary of D-Day in Europe,we should remember there werealso some "D-Days" in the PacificTheater of World War II,Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Tarawa,to mention a few. The one Iremember most vividly was thelanding on kyte on Oct. 20,1944.

As a 2O-year-old combatinfantryman, I was considered aseasoned veteran after survivingseveral New Guinea campaigns.We were still hunkered down onRed Beach barely 150 yards fromthe water's edge when I saw Gen.Douglas MacArthur wadg, ashoresurrounded by a few dozqn of hisstaff and the news media.

He subsequently made hisfamous "I have returned" spcech.It took several more bloodymonths to secure the island, withrelated casualties.

In memory of the many fallencomrades, I would like allpeace-loving people to rememberOct. 20, 1944, the day that theliberation of the Filipino peoplebegan in Worlti War II.

trol after all

The missiOn entailed sweeping

器 な詰酬 :塩蹴

Perhaps it was a blessing that itwasn't limown for certain this was t]relast patrol. Too much caution can getvorr killed iusl, as sure as careless-'ness. As Dovle said, "Coming out ofour nightJaager and onto that daysoatml. I was on Point when I no-hced a wet mound of dirt on an oth-erwise dry Path.

"I called up tle Platoon sergeantand we concluded it wag anotherbooby-trap...we left it alone andcontinued our march bY cuttiDg acomplet€ly new Path through thebush."

After a couple of d,aYs in the field,it became iacreasinglY apparent:This mission was diff*ent. Unlikemissions of the Past where the bush

would be humPed from dawn-to-dusk, it was obvious t}at specific des-

tinations had to be reached Y,/ithin aset time.

It was as if it had been Prear-ransed to link-up earlier with otleroh[ons in the area. On the Patrol'siourth day, members were told,"We're linking up and heading tl thelanding zone (LZ) to go in." Thisseemei'odd. A four-daY Patrol? Asri,as the saying in Vietnam, "Neverhappen, GI."'N tne lZ the men were met bY

South Vietnamese soldiers beingcombat assault€d in to replace tiem'Roy Hager ofFlankfort" Ky.' cou.ldn'thave been haPPier. "AIl I wanted todo was iust for ua to Bet thmugh 'his

oatml iir one piece and go home, butiiom previous-experience, I kept ask-ins mvself where werc we going to be

nelt?i wanted to go home' but th€nagain, I didn't."

This ambivalent feeling ofwantingto eo home and then not' r€llects thelov-e and fiendship that only men ina combat unit will ever know. DaleT\rttle of Muskegon, Mich., says' "Re-sardless ofwhich way the war went,i didn't want to leave my platoon andthe men I had come to know and loveas brothers."

John Bruce agrees, "You are bud'dies. What can be said? I didn't wantto leave them. I didn't feel that ourjob was done and I worried about theSouth Vietnamese we were treaungbehind."

Bidding FcEewellWhile the transfer of trooPs oc'

curred in the bush between TF Gim-let and the South Vietnamese ArmyTARVN), they leamed tlre Americanswere leavins the field for gpod- Theyasked for. ind the Gimlets gladlYsave them, 3O-round M-16 maga-Tines as well as grenades.

Along with the {RVNs came ahelicootir frrll of reporters to recordthe event. TheY landed, asked ques-

tions. took pictures and stayed withthe ARMrls while TF GiDlet loadeduo to leave.'

Bill Doyle, the last man ofthe lastDlatoon to be extract€d' was oo theiast of the slicks (lIH-l helicoptertrooD carriers) that took off for DaIrtane Air Base. He remembers, Tv-ervb-odv on the other choPPers, in-cluaini ours, PoPPed a victory smokeerenade and the smoke trailed from-the slicks as we left t}e valleY.'

On Aus. I1, 1972, in a ceremonYback at "C-amp SwamPY'in Da Nang'with the lat€ CSM C!€orge Green andLtc. Rocco Neeris officially retiring theunit colors, the men df TT'Ginlet 3dBattalion, 21st Infantry, quietlyended the American infantrJmeD'ssmund war in Vietnarn- "As I reflect on that moment, Iview with Dride the Een of TaskForte Gimlet who were handPicledfrom their Darent urit, the 196thLieht Infantry Brigade (SeParate)

wf,ich was Etanding down,' wmteretired Mai. Gen. Negris. "To theman- thev were outstanding eoldierswho carried out clfficult and dangpr-ous missions that included endlegsdavs in the field, frequent PatmDingani daily helicopter and grumd com-

Former SP/4 Richard W. Miller ofIGrrnit, Texas, says ofthe last flightout to the field: "Our last combat as-

sault out to the bush was damn nearlike t}re 6rst time for me. The feelingin mv gut. the sweat, and the fear. I..memibe. thinking that I've heardthe standing down BS before andeven ifthis was our last patrol, every-body knew You could die on the lasta. ouick as You could on the first."

fhis feeling was underscored bY

tlre fact that while ttris patml was, as

Datrols went, by-and-large uneventfirl'iwo men in the 'Killer' Platmn werewounded and had to be MEDEVAC'edas a result of triggering booby-trapson the second day out. SP/4 JamesMcVicar, 20, had the dubious distinc-tion of being the last American gmntwounded in action in Vietnam. httTes.岬岬 h“日岬

After donning his pilot's helmet and gloves,the aviator climbed into the cockpit of the OH-58C Kiowa for what would be his last flight inthat aircraft.

Scanning the myriad of lights and gaugeson the instrument panel, he commenced con-ducting the pre-flight checks - something hehas done literally a thousand times before.

Flying thc Kiowa is but one of many things-;-rvlritei'C-WO5 Rr-dhirld Willirims, diiision eiia:

tlon safety officer, is doing for the last time onthc eve of his departure from Hunter ArmyAlrfield aftcr spending 16 of his 28 years inthc Army stationed at Hunter in the 24thlnfantry Division.

"l'll miss my rouune knowing that this is thecnd for me here, but l,ve got a good three oriour years left in the Army. I don,t think thatthare's a landing zone on Fort Stewart orHunter that I couldn't find without a map atnight and l'll miss that,' Williams said.

Williams will probably not spend thosethrce to four years as a pilot, he said.

He enlisted in the Army in 1967 and afters.rving on other Army posts has been servingthe 24th lnf. Div. since 1979, he said.

He made the transition from enlisted airtraffic controller to warrant officer pilot afterleMng a tour in Vietnam.

Anaio'r Forgottcn Wrr?

Your read rnd hear this always in the context of the Korean War. But I wonder if thisdoes not also apply, at least to some degree, to the Pacific campaigrs of WWII. Whywould I ssy this? Wel[ because of October 20th That, in case you did not know, was the50th anniversary ofthe landing at Leyte. Lead by McArthlur four Army divisions,incfudirry th€ 24tl\ stormed ashore and bcgan the liberation of the Pffippirrcs.

This milestone in world history went almost unnoticed in the Arnerican news rnodia. Orre.Assorfutim mernber reports thst offour east-coast nEwspapers only one cirried anymention of it at all, ud this was two sentences in a one-by-six inch box. Our localColorado Springs paper did better. It was mentioned in the front section but on page 19,and a lot ofthe story was about how there was a reinactnrent ofthe landing; during wtichthc man actfurg as McArthur Hl into the water. Apparently very, very funny - a realtreslapper.

Tbrc of us who were in thel(orean War know how you Veterans of thal bsttle, andidccd of the Pacific campaigr, must feel. Some years back the anniversay of aniryortm battle in Koreo went unnoticed. The President of our Korean war vderans . -t:Amifion complained to several newspapers and the TV networks. They a[ told himtc gme rhin& -Its

lust not newsworthy. i It h a bitter pill to swallow.

The quill h.s passed. Afler forty-nine y€rs as Secretary/Tieaqurer ofour Associationlknwood Ross has steppcd down. Actually, that is not an accuratc strtement in sevcralrc$r&. First, he wes orr President in 1966; second, beside Sccraary/Treassurer he hasrlco boen our Anorney and legal mentor all this time; and third, Kcn has never .stqrpcd

down' from anything - 'stepping aside" would be a bater choice ofwords.

In addition to thc honor ofbeing one ofour Founding Fathers, Ken was also awarded theVcrbec& award in t9ti6.

while he hrs not &turlly beefl at rhe helm all ofrhese forty-nine years, he as c€rtainly b€ehin the Chart Room dl that time, and its going to be hard for a lot ofus to get over thihrhl of , 'give it to Ken.' His will be;hai act to follow. For starters, it is taking twoofus to do what he did - and then no guarantee that we,ll do halfas good ajob.

Back in the deyr whon International Morse code was stilt being uscd ifa sending stationrllsmitted a very long and complicared message, and the receiving op"r"ro, goi ir

I am enomously proud to repreaent a state rtereserlce ia held ln great respect and esteeu. Etter aioce Ientered public tlfe-to serve the people of West Vlrginia, ineant t orking very cloaely wlth -- and for -- our veteranag[sl3 fanl ]lsE.

As Chaiman of the Senate Comittee oa vsterana' lffalr€, Ihave had a great opportunity to i.EProve the lives of veterans --and I will iontinue fightLng on many fronts to defend veterans'rights, Just as you fought to defend our countly.

It is through the laws we enact that we ensure ourcomnitments to those who senred, often in timee of need, andoften at great sacrifice to theuselves.

Government cannot -- and dare not -- €rver forget Ltscomitoent. Ihere can be no greater monument to govenDentkeeping its comLtment to veterans than west vl'rginla'a Stateveterana Eotne here in Barboursville.

This Eome, and Etate veterana hmea like lt acroas thscountry, repreaent a true co'mitment of both fegeral and atrtagovernments, working together, to keep the prmises made to ourveterana. ft'8 a great concePt.

As early as the Civil YIar, our government realLzed t5rit.lndigent and- disabled aoldiers, wtro were no longer alrle to cantheii own livelihood, needed care. lltre federal govermentoperatd national ho,mes, but were unable to Deet the do'trlnd; atrdoily veterana who aerved tn the Union forcea wera eligLble'

Today, the federal governDent provLdes grants to the atatesto eatabliBh veterans homes, not to exceed 55 percent of thecost, and the atete provides the reat. Once the hoEes open, thefederal govennent providea per dian payDents for care, not toerced oagrh.lf,. of the cost of the veterans' care. The re@ainiagcoata c@e fE@ rahat veterans theEaelvea are able to contribute,and fron the .gtate government.

That also aonnda pretty god to me.. GovernDent helplng. go{errlment help veterans. In fact, it sounded like a pretty goodidea to De even before I became your Gever1ror. Ilhen I was

-.i'J.,\ €ccretary of State, and while I sas at West virginia wealeyan,15r.6@-as a candidate for Gov€rnor, I heard a lot of tafk about a-. veteranE h@e.

But noSocly ever aeeoed to do very 4uch about it. Goveraloratrlked about lt. Reeolutions were pa-sed. The Legislature.I|r6sed a bIlI authorizLng the atate to establiEh one -- butrB acgrhere alang the line nobody ever atopped to point out that. itco6t Doney. So when it caDe time to put word8 into action --intg Frtar and brick8 and eomething tangible -- not oire cent.was-j pade. availeble to tranefoE tbe rhetorLc ilto reality

i: pronised I'd do soEething about that when I Dade it to theGovernor's office, and I did. You cannot begin to imagine the

. pride that I feel knowing that over 1,000 veteranB have found a. . **= at thiE facility since it opend in 1981.

fhat pride sas Datched thl6 past year, aa I rratched veteratrsand veterans organizations, coutrunity leaders, nen, rrooen andchildren all coEe together fron across this great State of oursiir sEpE ort of Barboursville.

Veterana helping veterana -- and veterans ro-inding thoBe of,us in goverrurent of our colltD.itlDent. This nation Dust keep theprouises it Dade to its veterana, Just aa responsively asveterana answered the call of our qountrfr,

l{e, in West Virginia, have over 200,000 veterana and closeto trc-thirds of then are l{orLd War f I veterana. :[trLe is the aE€that ia the most affected when we begin to fall Ehort on ourommltment to pro▼ ュde hea■th care and do口ic■■■ary care。

: - tioa.y, on this day aet aaide to reoember those shoeacrificed so much so that all can be gruaranteed life in a freeworld, Iet ua all pledge to renenber our com.itment: Others havedone so Duch, se dare not do less.

.. - ThoTk you for being here this afternoon, a.Dd. for sharlngsith me in what has got- to be one of the uoai g:atifyfng fr6n6rs fhave recaived tn ovei thirty ye""" of prtir" eervice.
