If I leerned nothing of school books et
V. E. S., I learned to believe in God. Not
1111 the way; just a half.hearted Christian
belief. But, in the battles of lwo Jima and
Okinawa where I was hit by shell fragments
I learned that a true belief in God is one of
the most comforting end relieving thingo Mid-Win· there is.
When they pulled the last piece of hot
lend-lease steel out of my leg, I stopped
praying. I realized then thot for three hours
I had been entirely oblivious to poin by
communing with God. This may seem im- were corrit possible to some boys. but to me it was a
very real thing. In those three hours they had taken sixteen pieces of Jap shell, from my legs, abdomen, and shoulders.
I don't pretend to be a hero. I'm not.
I'm only one in many who holds the Purple ground ode Hearl. My wounds were bad, but not crip· was bothec piing.
