My Dad was a farm boy from Illinois. During the war he was in South Africa, was in Egypt and saw the Great Pyramids, stationed in a castle in England, was riding on a bus in London when a V-1 landed so close that it blew out all of the windows in the bus, went into Normandy on D-Day plus 10, and saw the Eifel tower in Paris. Quiet a journey for a farm boy.

My grandparents were a multi-star family during World War II as my father and several of his brothers all served at the same time.

Here is just the contributions of one of the brothers:

My Uncle who headed the formation of the Alaska National Guard during World War II went on to lead the Occupation Efforts in Hokkaido, Japan after the war. There he was stationed at the base in Chitose. He shared with me many of his fond memories of Japan. The Japanese people in Chitose were so appreciative of his kindness to them that when he left he was gifted an Ainu bead necklace with a seabird medallion known as a shitoki. After his passing it was willed to me and I cherish it to this day.

That my uncle built a close rapport with the Japanese people is not surprising. One of his primary responsibilities was serving as a liaison with the Japanese townspeople in Chitose. In his previous Alaska assignment he was a leader who came to be loved and respected by his men as well. John H. Grainger in his book “Alaska National Guard, 297th Infantry Battalion” writes about a 140 mile march “Commanded by my. uncle, the, Commanding Officer of the 297th Infantry, Battalion, from Fort Richardson to Mt. McKinley Park for testing of winter equipment” that was described as “unprecedented in number of men, time and distance covered under winter conditions.” He added, referring to my uncle, that even though he was the Commander of the expedition he “worked the hardest and suffered the most. He traveled alone with his pack. Prior to the war he had been a mining engineer and foreman in a gold mine in Juneau.”
