They do not see themselves as heroes nor extraordinary, but to those who love freedom, these men and women are not only the backbone of our coun-try, but the marrow which is the core of our strength. With reverence we hon-or those who have answered the call of their country to defend our liberties and the freedoms of all who are op-pressed. Thank you for your service and for keep-ing the lamp of freedom lit. As Dwight D.

At one point they came upon a soldier with an automatic rifle who began firing on the Americans. Before he could be taken out more soldiers had been killed, one only a few feet from Wadley. After three days, the E Company was sent back to Hawaii then on to New Zea-land to rebuild. Of the 140 soldiers in Wadley's com-pany, only 46 survived the three-da- y Battle of Tarawa. While he went on to see fighting in other Pacific the-atres, this was the bloodiest and most costly in terms of life. The islands were final-ly secured and less than a year later he was sent home on furlough. For years Wadley would not talk about his war-tim- e experiences, not unlike so many other veterans.
