American GI -- Who we are and what are we doing
here?
Volume 3. "The Way We Were" Stories
from individuals during the war years. These stories
are sometimes heroic, sometimes funny, poignant, or
simply memories that must not be forgotten. This Volume
has two sub sections:
In Harm's Way,
Page 1 -- Page
2 --Stories from the front like: "About
D-day plus 5 on Saipan, I was watching for Japanese
soldiers along the beach who were sneaking in to
give directions for artillery fire. I was sitting
in the turret of an armored Amphib. About 2300 I
saw the faint outline of what appeared to be a Marine
walking along the beach. There was no moon and the
only light was from a fire burning about one hundred
yards away. Japanese soldiers had a habit of wearing
U.S. Marine helmets and carrying M1's when they
could find them. In the dark they were hard to identify
by a silhouette. When the guy got within 50 feet,
I asked the usual "Who goes there?". The
answer came back in perfect English, "ITS ME,
GI JOE. A MARINE LIKE YOU." So I aimed about
8 inches below the outline of his helmet and shot.
The next morning there was one dead Japanese officer
in the sand. I never heard of a Marine calling himself
G I Joe. I don't think I ever will.

The
Home Front, Page 1
Many wonderful stories about life at home during the
war. One, a lovely, privileged debutante who rolled
up her sleeves and joined the war effort. Another,
a beautiful widow who struggled through it alone.
Several more, for example, a child's reaction to the
Blitz in London.

4. The Places, Page 1
-- Page
2 -- What's left of the places that played
a large role in WWII or Korea. Some are still
there while some are just ruins. One is the German
POW camp in Clinton MS (near Jackson). "The
good people in Clinton and Jackson, MS just couldn't
give up their Southern hospitality long enough
to run a proper prisoner of war camp! Read this
wonderful story of a POW camp so good that the
German prisoners come back for reunions!"
