BINGHAMITES REPORT (Continued from p:ge D of their wings and heard the metallic thunder of their voices but thanks be to God those reach-ing fingers took hold of the Japs and not us. We have seen the Nips go down into the sea, as fiery comets we have seen their base tremble with the ague as though the earth were quaking and hidden volcanoes were pour-ing dust, debris and flame into the dir. If our hearts are light today and we can talk in or-dinary tones of voice, if we do not look like men from Mars as we walk the deck it means but one thing. It means we are thankful that today we have put aside our habilments of war, that our big guns are primlv silent and that we are anchored in safe waters. Here we will not see enemy periscopes or fear that torpedo wake. We have had a rugged time for the past several weeks us we were not far from the "Nips at any time. Before dawn each day we were fit our battle stations we were on watch constantly and not once for many days have our guns been not ready or our crew not on the alert ready for whatever comes. As we sailed in-to this area we put our mat-tresses below and we have been sleeping on the deck, on gun mounts, on gun shields, under the guns and always ready. Rain, rough weather, heat all these things have worked us over and we are thankful that through it all they have found out we "could take it". The difficult part of war life is not the fighting, but the waiting to fight. For every time we fired our guns and fought off Jap planes or sent them to their ancestors we went to quarters a dozen times and were ready. One thing this trip has taught us is that if we have good fighter planes with us they save a lot of trouble. Many times Jap planes came af-ter us but our own fighters in-tercepted them and chased them home. Several times, particular-ly at night, a few planes got in and then they found out what we could do. One of the Jap planes we hit fell so close to us that one of the machine gunners took a deep breath and said "He was so close you could have hit him with a 'tater". For those who were below decks the constant commentary of our paymaster who reported the engagements "play by play" gave us complete information and the crescendo of our own guns put the necessary punctuation to his words. One of the truly great sights of this cruise was the ship shoot-ing all her guns at one time. What a noise and what a reac-tion when they hit. But I guess the Japs could tell you more that. I've not been away from my station for more than food in so long that I'm going to get away now. You can believe me when we say that we really worked and are ready for some recreation. For a while, a few days perhaps, there will be gam-es ashore, movies out on deck in the evening, our orchestra will "swing out" with some new tun-es and we will rest. But the rest is going to be tough on the Nins we will be ready for them with all the more zeal and firepower when we catch them again. And one thing you can be sure of is this. We will catch them. So after the noise of firing at planes and other enemy targets the hardships of sleeping on the deck, after the heat of a boiling hot sun it is very pleasant today to sit down to a "Thanksgiving Dinner". We know more now than at any other time in our lives what we all mean by "Thanksgiving". So remember us in your prayers and keep up the good work at home. We are do-ing our part here to hasten the end of this war. Every day brings us closer to Tokyo and you can bet the day we put our first gun on that city of the Rising Sun will be a day of Thanksgiving for us alj. Bye for now and I'll write again soon. George Hronis Gardikis S lie A little over nine months ago Ensign Rex C. Tripp left San Francisco to begin sea duty on a destroyer in the South Pacific. In a letter written December 21 and received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rex T. Tripp, thia week, he describes the sensations of his first stay in a large city since he left United States: "We're in civilization for the first time in nine long months. Few places in the states can beat this city, but the good old U.S.A. is still home to all of us. At 6 a.m. yesterday all hands were on topside straining their eyes for the first glimpse of land and the city on that land. Yesterday afternoon I walked on cement sidewalks and streets, rode in taxis, looked in big store win-dows and visited a cocktail lounge. In the evening we dined and danced in a night club, as nice as most in the states. This morning I had milk the first I have tasted in nine months. Tonight I had fresh lettuce and tomatoes. It is needless to say how much I appreciate every-thing. It has been one of the biggest thrills in my life, and I can think of only one thing that will thrill me more the sfght of United States." Naval Trainee Ray W. Pett left Monday to return to Butte, Mont., where he is attending Montana School of Mines. Ray spent the holidays at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Pett of Copperton. Mrs. J. Dewey Knudsen, secre-tary of the Victory Flag society, received the following letter to the Victory Flag society and da-ted December 12, 1943: "Although I am not in uniform I am overseas, living at an army post in barracks and as a result want to write you people and tell you that the book you put out certainly makes a person feel good. Mother sent me one and I enjoyed every word in it. It was. a wonderful thing for you people to (Jo- - Those of us who will be unable to get a leave and be home for Christmas will be thinking of you people. May a year from now see this conflict drawing to a close. Merry Christ-mas and Happy New Year to all. Jean Frazier". Miss Frazier is in civil service and is believed to be working in Anchorage, Alaska. She is a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. G. Frazier of Copperton. Kenneth John Ray, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert John Ray, Copperton, was the first Utah youth to enlist for naval train-ing under the new order permit-ting to enlist for training with the rating of ap-prentice seaman and receive as-surance that they will be allow-ed to complete schooling.' Young Ray will receive radio technic-ian training. He will be ordered to active duty as soon as he has fulfilled requirements for gradu-ation from Bingham high school. One of the finest letters a boy could write his father came to H. P. Gardikis of Copperfield from his sailor son, George Hron-is Gardikis S 1 c: "I received your package yes-terday and was sure glad to get it. Gee, it's nice to know that us boys out here are being thought of. It was really a nice present. I wish I were in a place where I I could send you folks back home a eift. "Many nights we lay awake wondering what the people back home are thinking. I know now that we are being remembered. "I am glad to have my name Gardikis, because there is a lot in that name. Your father and his father have fought the game of war. Now I have seen war, too. There have been times I nave been afraid, but when the real thing came I found I wasn't afraid. Dad, I never realized I was grown up. I'm a man now. I'm part of the world. And it takes guys with the guts we have to win the war we are in. "I'm on one of the best ships afloat and I will do my best with the rest of the fellows to keep it afloat. I can be a very proud sailor to say I am from this ship. "I have confidence in one man, the best I've ever been under, our captain. I don't think there is another like him. We would sail for Japan, if he gave the word, and not be afraid of going there. "I hope Jolm isn't growing too fast. I want to come back there and find the old place the same. It may be months and it may be years, but someday I am coming home to carry on life where we left off. "If anything should happen to me just remember I am always with you. My heart is still with the rest of the family. So once in awhile give a little prayer for us out here. We can use them. I wish everyone else in the world had as nice folks as I have. I hope you will write me as soon as possible, and if you don't hear from me at all times do not wor-ry. I hope this letter finds every-one in the best of health." Technical Sergeant Elmer Jack Householder writes from the South Pacific to "wish all his friends a Happy New Year."
