We could only run as fast as we could, to outrun the shells as they fell. We had about a mile and a half to go, and if we had stopped, we would have been killed or wounded. I ran as fast as I could, but tried to keep my squad together. Before I reached trees, my legs were weak, my lungs burned, and I could hardly carry my rifle. And most of us were too tired to dig a foxhole. As I hid behind a tree and tried to catch my breath, the thought came to me, ". . . thou shaft run and not be weary, and walk and not faint." One of my men came into the trees, and I told him to dig in. He looked at me, took off his helmet, sat on it and said, "Shoot me if you want, but I'm not digging another damn hole." Another time, after a big fire fight and many losses, all we could do was set up a perimeter perim-eter and try to keep the Germans Ger-mans out. There were so many of them that I was scared, and there was no place to hide. I fell to my knees near a rock and prayed that I would not be afraid and alone. As I said amen, these words came to me: "Be not afraid, be not dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with thee, whither soever so-ever thou goest." I had learned this verse as an M-Man in the MIA. It was very comforting and uplifting. I was always afraid, but I knew that if I was by myself, I was never alone. After the war was over, I became almost paranoid about staying alone, until I got home. When I did get home, I just sat down and cried. Under the command of General Simpson, we crossed the Rhine River on a pontoon bridge and proceeded to Recklinghausen, Reck-linghausen, through Hannover and Brunswick, to about 60 miles from Berlin. We were on one side of the Elbe River, and the Russians were on the other side. We pulled back from the front, broke into small units, dispersed around the area, and set up military governments, to guard factories and keep displaced dis-placed persons in stockades. After V-E Day, we returned to an abandoned airbase near Brussels. A provisional Honor WOODBURY ART MUSEUM Women's art showcase Rebekka Seigel is the featured artist for the Lucille T.

These notes are taken from Richardson's history, which he himself has written. This week: Shirl Richardson finally makes it home, but not until after more fighting. mm. iimi. h i i ii.jmjyi i ii i w Shirl Richardson Guard was organized to accompany accom-pany President Truman when he came to sign the Treaty of Potsdam. I was one of those 150 men, and we marched six hours a day, five days a week, until there wasn't a bobble in the whole outfit as we marched. If you made a bobble, you were replaced. We were inspected by the President and his entourage. I saw more big officials and officers of-ficers that day than I thought possible. We had a presentation of awards and a retreat parade at the Palace of Justice in Brussels, to me a great honor. As we passed in review, the band played "The Stars and Stripes Forever," and to this day, whenever I hear it, my hair stands on end, I get goose bumps all over, my throat swells up, and tears come to my eyes. In early August, we were sent to Camp Lucky Strike on the outskirts of Le Havre. Then it was a very bumpy ride back to the coast of Ireland, and on to Boston Harbor. We were the first troop ship to arrive in Boston after V-J Day, and there were huge Veterans: Send us your stories This newspaper is collecting stories of the military experiences of Utah County veterans in their own words for a Memorial Day special section.

"35th Division." Fireboats formed a circle around us, blowing their whistles and sirens, shooting water into the air. Other ships, docking or leaving, aLso sounded their horns and whistles. It was really re-ally quite a thrill, a touching moment. Signs were put on the train as we sent to Camp Miles StandLsh. and the train's whistle whis-tle blew all the way to camp. People rushed out of houses, factories, and other buildings, and cars honked their horns till we passed. It was like they really re-ally cared. At the camp. German POWs were doing all the duties, so all we had to do was relax, eat, and wait. We came by train to Fort Lewis, Washington, sleeping sleep-ing in Pullman cars. One time, a soldier on the train turned to the sergeant with us and asked, "Who are these guys that they get such plush treatment?" The sergeant replied, "Watch your mouth! These are combat veterans from Germany, Germa-ny, and they could kill you in heartbeat. So leave 'em alone." I had a wonderful reunion with my wife and beautiful daughter, then fell ill for a while, got an extended leave, returned to Fort Lewis and was discharged.
