The letter was almost a sailor; Just another one of month on the way so probably inousanas or ampniDious guys Pic. Beck Is now on his way home. He writes that he is well, that the paper has reached him quite regularly and he will be glad to get home. ! sent out any day. He Is planning on entering the USAC where he studied for nearly two years be fore entering the service. He has a brother, Lieut. Frank M. Park er, who Is in Salpan. out here in the Pacific. We aren't the glory hounds of the navy. We don't go out and slug It out with the enemy. We can't, not with 40 and 20 MM buns. That job comes under the cat gory of the glamor boys of the fleet, the lads on our heavy stuff, battleships, carriers, cruisers, and destroyers, We 'Phlb' boys' fight our war differently. In every Invasion from Guadalcanal to Normandy we have been there putting troops and supplies ashore. Our job Is to get the heavy tanks, guns, trucks, etc., to the Invaded beaches as fast as possible with a minimum of confusion.- The amphibious gob Is a tern peramental sort of a guy. Hell curse his shipmates, and his ship, but he'll fight to the end for both. Its perfectly all right for him to call down his own outfit. but never make the mistake of doing so yourself, unless you're a very good friend, or you're out of hearing distance The amphibious man like all other Americans has been taught from childhood not to hate anyone, any-one, yet he goes Into battle with blood In his eyes and hate in his heart You ask me why this man has changed. This Is as close as I can come to giving you an answer. He has seen "Death' "Yes,IsaldDeath"cjfotaTret ty word, Is it? It's not a pretty sight either, especially when it's your own friends, your own buddies, bud-dies, and your own countrymen you see being torn, ripped, and smashed by the man made hell thrown at them by those -stinking sons of heaven, the men who fight under the flag of sin, the Japanese. Lack of guns aboard his ship does not allow the amphibious 'gob tcrwtaiiate xr JapTrtrodties as he would like to. The only way he can spend his hate is to get those supplies to where they are most needed as fast and as safe as possible. When the fight gets Inland the phlb gob's Job gets to be almost al-most one of drudgery. This is what is known to him as the build up period. His ship now' becomes the work horse of the navy. Just because those first troops and supplies are ashore does not mean his Job Is done; inf act, it has Just started. Those , soldier boys In there have to have Veinforcemehts, and they have to have them fast This task falls on his already weary shoulders. shoul-ders. When the- work at hand is completed, and the objective taken, he has but one thing to look forward to the next strike. So goes the life of the amphibious am-phibious sailor, and so will it go, until the enemy have been beaten beat-en into submission. When the shores of Japan itself have been reached, It will be the men of the Amphibious Forces of the United States Navy who put our gallant soldiers and marines in Hlrohitos very back yard. He will be In the thick of the fight directly or indirectly until the last shot Is fired. He will receive very little glory, very little praise, but he will know, and the Navy will know that he has done his Job well, and little more can be asked. When back In civilian life he is asked, "What did you do in world war U?" HfiH be proud to raise his head, and say "I was a sailor, an amphibious sailor." By James D. Hall S 1c Buzz Brown, Rm 3c U.
