Honorable Discharge Company H 104th Infantry "The War Is With Me Every Day"

This  World War II soldiers' name is John. 

A lifelong  resident,

he resides in Gettysburg, PA yet today.

He has a remarkable story to share.
And in this story, you'll come to find that he
has witnessed much in life.

It is my hope that you will
come to understand
what all American soldiers,
over time and space and through history,
have given to America and
Americans with the gentle abiding and reading of Johns'
recollections.
Just may be that, too...
Whilst within and through
Johns' stories you
may come to find and tenaciously grasp the true
meaning and revelation of  the words...

"The Greatest Generation"


John

It's not often he shares his War Experiences,
and on days when he does,
I'm honored to listen intently
and to share upon his memories.


Why am I honored to listen and share his stories, Gentle Readers?

Before me, and still among us all...is the person and the man in total embodiment of indeed
"The Greatest Generation".

http://www.26yd.com/john_sachs.html


John entered into war and witness upon the hail and brimstone
of human cruelties,
horror, blood, merciless killing and
the taking of human lives.

You may have heard of this
notoriously harsh battle?

"The Battle Of The Bulge"

His stories are many.
From astounding acts of sacrifice and
unbelievable moments of history
that were never recounted publicly...until NOW.

He served our Country valiantly during World War II

with the Company H, 104th Infantry.

Army Heavy Machine Gunner 605,
 Rifle Man, and at times
Runner.
He fought in the Battle of The Bulge.
European-African-Middle Eastern Service Medal

Good Conduct Medal

World War II Victory Medal

Declining,  in the Theatre and through his own cognizance,
 a Purple Heart.

What was a Purple Heart then
to a soldier and a man who had watched others on the
battlefield of war give of their lives, the ultimate sacrifice?

What was a Purple Heart to him then after
he suffered wounds,
indignities
and branded memories
that no medal could extinguish?

THE REALITY?

Hunkered down in

in the worst bombed theatre of

war....

in the confines of a potato cellar where

the deep deadly shadows were lit only

by the sparking and igniting of cartridge belts...

These soldiers knew of  inhumanities and betrayal, disease, lice, months of
no change of clothing nor baths.  No shelter
nor warm food all whilst
traversing a foreign land
through bitterly harsh and unforgiving
endless days and nights... he fought side by
side with other Americans who

gave their lives eternally or gave a part of their lives
 for an America they so deeply
and passionately loved and believed in.

They fought
 to keep Americans free.

You do realize, my Gentle Readers...for most, part and parcel?
Those Americans they fought to keep free are you and me.

She Had All The Right Curves In All The Right Places...

An American Love Affair

She Had All The Right Curves In All The Right Places, and...

 

It was love at first sight!

"C'était le coup de foudre!"

 

 

 

Sometimes, Less Said Is

The Most Noble Course

and in this case...Gentle Readers...

"That Sometimes is Now!"

 

Let the pictures speak volumes!

 

 

 

Weren't These Beauties Lovely And Worthy Of
A Sigh?
Rest Assured, Gentle Readers...There's More, Much More!

From Turnpikes,  to the The Lincoln Highway
and mebbe (just only) Route 66...
 We will be passing through
with a word or two!


Hold on for the ride, Gentle Readers...and Oh?! 
FASTEN YOUR SAFETY BELTS?

Bungalow Gal Says Gettysburg, PA Is Socked In Under The Snow! So Let's Polka!

You Heard it Here Gentle Readers!

It's not just Bungalow Gal Jolene

saying this...EVERYONE IS!

Gettysburg, PA Is Socked In Under The Snow!

So, Let's Just Polka!

What could be more delightful in the snow?  Beer Barrel Polka, otherwise known as Roll Out the Barrel, is a song which became popular worldwide during World War II.

Need I say more? Of Course Sillies...

I always DO!

Hubba, Hubba and Oh-Dad-E-OH!

Penn Station, Infinitestimal Love

Every once and again in a lifetime, an infinitesimal moment of cataclysmic phenomena crystallizes.

Whether designed by the omnipotence of deity, absolute karma or the fervor of happenstance, a mercurial bonding inspires, emanates and insinuates itself in that magic moment through any time, space or matter.

Just such a phenomena sparked the passions of two.  The year was 1941 in the full bloom and realization of War Time America.

Her name was Diana and his name was Alexander.

 They realized an uncommon knowledge that had long been secreted away, out of necessity, and

finally lain open for each to discover.

 Now here, and ever after

 each was destined to be intertwined together in an immortal indefinable unity
of foreverness.

The world was different then for them.  How could it not be?

Everywhere, Americans wore the badge of innocence,

ignorance, defeat, hunger, poverty, the intimate knowledge of bitter

hatred and cruelty, stirring pride, glamour,

attitude and style,
temperance of want, overwhelming suffering,

brilliance, ingenuity and pain...

yet

all were free to embrace the power and
saving grace of  love.

Their story unfolds amidst the heat and scramble of fervered goodbyes, tearful greetings, and against the surly backdrop of a dark dank train station

known as

Penn Station in Baltimore, Maryland.

Alexander was a soldier of necessity, pragmatic and practical and Diana was a lover of passion....

Gentle Readers, for more on Alexander and Diana Stay Tuned.  And, remember...our beloved Emma Mims from earlier Blogs has yet to be heard and definitely much more to say!

Gentle Readers...Now may be a fine time to query...

Among Other Items of Miscellany in Life

What actually was a Blackout During WWII?

One Gettysburg, PA resident and a World War II Veteran recalls blackouts and drills this way: "These drills were meant to prepare Americans in potential air attacks." The first signal all "yellow" siren warning gave alert that volunteers had about 15 minutes to get nearby emergency shelters ready and ready for "lights out" (black out) by turning out all lights, pulling the blinds and snuffing car lights in your areas of patrol or watch. 15 minutes following the "yellow" siren warning, a "blue" siren warning meant actually turning the lights out (black out). Now, if the "red" siren warning was sounded, you knew enemy planes were nearby somewhere and the searchlights were supposed to be lit."

Fortunately, Providence Happens In America, Even During WWII!

We are delighted to report that No Red Siren or Blackouts were actually necessary, except... of course, during Drills in the United States!

Not so very fortunate were other countries of the world during WWII.
Many

experienced constant and devastating 

demolishment by barrage after barrage of Air Raids.

Below you'll hear brief recollection from one who actually witnessed
the absolute horror and sheer terror of aerial warfare.
 The strafe of

fighter planes and the flair of munitions were seen
juxtaposed amidst the beauty of England, ...

Now, let's move from this sodden ground and onward a bit. 

We must not continue without emphatic comment that, while there were no actual air raids in the United States, there most certainly were infiltration attempts into America and among her citizens during WWII.  Through espionage Spy Rings, Covert Operations and multiple other attemps to access her shores, America remained united, stalwart and strong through times of increasing struggles during this tremendously harsh era of war.

So then, what shall be your next question of miscellany? 

You know the answer to that...

engaged and intently gentle readers!

Who or By What stroke of benevolent genius and grace united American valor in uncommon protection of themselves and their shores in the fight against predatorial enemy advances?

America Ingenuity Came A-Calling!  (That's who or what!) 

May 20, 1941 marked the United States' renewed, revised, yet all new emergence for a  federal emergency war protection agency known as the Office of Civilian Defense (OCD).  As America hurtled nearer involvement in World War II, President Roosevelt, 'neath the gentle influence of  Eleanor Roosevelt, herself,  created this Office by Executive Order 8757.  The OCD would co-ordinate state and federal measures for protection of civilians in the case of war emergencies!  President Roosevelt appointed the Mayor of New York, Fiorello H. La Guardia, as the Director of this Agency.

The OCD had four operating units and...Mayor La Guardia

further established the following entity by Administrative Order, 9:

December 1, 1941, the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) was created as part of the Office of Civilian Defense. Major General John F. Curry served as the first National Commander. During World War II, the Civil Air Patrol engaged civilian pilot resources to aid the war effort! It was reported Civil Air Patrol pilots sighted 173 enemy U-boats and sank two, during WWII.

The OCD served in preparation and protection of the civilian population, should Americans find themselves under attack, on American soil....

American Democracy At Her Best! 

Aptly supervising protective functions such as special fire protection, the OCD also provided services and instructions for blackouts and a plethora of other war needs from housing, public morale and transportation to child care.  Other OCD jobs included establishing and supervision of air-raid procedures, in the event of an attack.

Through promoting volunteer service, and co-ordination with other federal departments, the Office of Civilian Defense and Volunteers proudly and duly served the needs of a country engaged in dire war.

We Bid A Huge Fare-Thee-Well and thank-you

to the Office Of Civilian Defense and Volunteers

of yesterday! 
Humbled by their efforts,

Every American Rested A Bit Easier

at work and home
whilst they were busy

Protecting Americans

And American Soil

during WWII.

GOD BLESS AMERICA...

In Summary...

OBEY YOUR AIR RAID WARDEN NOW?

Hubba, Hubba and Kisses.

Note:  The Office Of Civilian Defense (OCD) was terminated by Executive Order 9562, June 4, 1945 whilst The Civilian Air Patrol (CAP) proudly maintains a truly worthy relationship with the USAF today.  With the aftermath of World War II, The Civilian Air Patrol became a civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force engaging in endeavors of benevolent nature.

Ten Hut! Air Raid Drills, Black Out Drills and The US Office of Civilian Defense

May, 1941

DEAR AMERICA:

Ten Hut!

We Are The U.S. Office of Civilian Defense.

We've got your backs and your shores!

ALL OF ME...CAROLE LOMBARD

One witness reported...

"It was a beautiful clear night and you could see for miles. It hardly seemed minutes before the plane faded away over the Charleston range when I saw a flash and then big tongues of flame rising from the mountainside. The plane cracked in two like a piece of kindling wood."  

Shock spread throughout the nation.  War time America!  Exactly when every man, woman and resource of hope, inspiration, sustenance, empowerment, humor and joy was so desperately needed on the homefront and in the campaigns....an element SIMPLY CEASED TO BE, IN THE SPAN OF A MOMENT.

Songs by Crooner Russ Columbo
Said to be Carole's Great Love

January 16, 1942, Carole Lombard, accompanied by her beloved mother, was returning home to California from a successful World War II Bond Drive Rally in Indiana at the behest of  then President Roosevelt. Some say "by the toss of a coin",  heads or tails, homeward bound by train or plane was determined.  That's it then...determined by a simple gesture and perhaps exactly as Lombard had wished it to be... in a plane, along with fate to accompany them, they knew their last entombment of life.

As they boarded the Transcontinental and Western Airlines DC-3 airplane that would take them home, Caroles' final words to the admiring fans and crowds wishing her well and adieu were a reflection of her ever selfless dedication to her country in a time of dire need..

"Before I say goodbye to you all, come on and join me in a big cheer! V for Victory!"  And the crowd blushed, cheered, applauded and bade their, indeed all of Americas' legend... goodbye.

After refueling in Las Vegas, TWA Flight 3 took off and 23 minutes later, crashed into "Double Up Peak" near the 8,300-foot (2500 m) level of Mount Potosi, 32 miles (52 km) southwest of Las Vegas. All aboard, 19 passengers and three crew, were killed.

The Great Carole Lombard had died.

Shocked silence and devastation reverberated world wide in the wake of news announcing Carole Lombard's death.  Fans, admirers, family and friends retreated into a somnabulant pose as they mourned the loss of their heroin, their legend and the girl next door.

After her death, the Van Nuys News ran an unusual front page tribute: "Down deep in their hearts, those who had chatted with her over the back fence or across a garden row knew that Carole Lombard wanted more than anything else to be a model housewife and a good neighbor. And she was just that. She was a lovable person, just as much at home in blue denims and gingham's as she was in furs and jewels.".

Gone forever to mortals, was one of the most amazing Actresses America had ever possessed. While her life was, fleeting, her stardom remains enduring and enchanting, with the bittersweet melody of  the essence and epitome of a tragic ending. Carole's was a story that never made a full play unto the end...literally, some still say, by the flip of a coin.

In a world where mere written words fail emotion and are lacking inexplicably in the most part, what I actually mean to say here, communicate, or divulge, I find it best to share the aura of the woman, Carole. But remember, gentle readers? This is presented through the myopic vision of one who dearly admires her legend, is a sentimental and soft hearted sort identifying with her on so many levels. Knowing full well that there are those among us who yet inhabit today and can recollect or verify vague and indeed vivid memories of Carole Lombard far better than I,  please bear with me as I am merely and only able to study her from history, and share with you, gentle readers,  gleanings.  In sharing, I will spare "many the's minutia" and particulars which made up her life in total, naturally.  I hope to inspire, within your very hearts, a totally new emotion,  the thrill of revelation and unveiling of an Iconic Legend who once inspired thousands...this woman, and unforgettable character of altogether Carole Lombard....an American Legend.

Carole was writ large in signifying, expressing and embodiment of one of the Greatest American Legends of All Time. She was then embued with a flavor seemingly of other worlds beyond our grasp and is now truly in every sense of the word...celestial.

Alongside any loyal coterie of Lombard fans, it can easily be agreed that Carole was a classic and timeless beauty with undefined sexual allure for her own time and history. For all intents and purposes, she was always charming and verbose, witty and intelligent, playful, capricious, hinted at intrigue and remarkably kind hearted.   Admired and loved by many, as well, for her genuine sense of humor and direct language, she had won American hearts in a time when the country had been drowning in the Depression .  Her High Spirits and love for the world, apparent bounce and energy coupled and tippled together have touched my heart and found me tossing back a few 'ello and oh' deah endearments. She too, was the girl next door.  What an unrestrained contagious and remarkable approach to life, Carole possessed!

Razzz Ma Tazzzzzzzz, I Did IT..Again! LOMBARD!

I Said I Wouldn't Do "An Exposé" on the 1930s and 1940s Hey Day again for just a bit.
I was actually off  of the wagon for an hour or so...
then contrarily and  Goodness Gracious, 'Mes amis'!

By Darn, if I am not, good and righteous, back on the wagon again!

Going Rogue With Vintage Bungalow Gal!

First off the top...anyone want to get down and dirty with retro ingenuity as Jolene goes Rogue?  That's right! You've heard it here for the first time! Vintage Bungalow Gal, Jolene, is going Rogue and you're invited!

Prepare for Utopian enthusiasm, global enlightenment and immersion as we get cracking again, gentle readers!

Rogue along with yet another sidelong glance, into the glamorous and attitude filled era of the 1930s and 1940s! Let's turn on the heat and fire up the range whilst you prepare to read and experience one of the most scintillating journeys you've ever taken!   Shall we discover, together gentle readers... a few inventions of gadgets, gizmos, and history?!



Second off the top,...not necessarily fodder for the fainthearted,  I simply hadn't known it before or perhaps had taken it for granted, but I can confidentially declare that..."History can never be pronounced dead and we shan't be surprised to find that it remains in most excellent of health and a guiding beacon to all in a plethora of ways!" . 

We tend to remember the 1930s and 1940s in a plethora of ways, don't we? WWII images and reminders of the "Era of The Greatest Generation", the Dust Bowls' effect, Victory Gardens and Swinging to Big Bands, I'd suppose, are carved into and unto our remembrance of this generation. The impact of these once in a life time images and memories all too often means we fail to see so many of the amazing changes the era was experiencing in "making their world and the future more livable"! Many inventions derived of yesterday, we oft times assume always were and don't question their beginnings.

I do now know and also fully understand, after indoctrination and browsing through tons of old sepia photographs, color pictures, seeping and searching like a brew of warm liquid tea through varied portals of yesterday, all for the genuine pleasure and a wee bit of writing for this blog, that yet more surprising  findings of this era often challenged of my own pre-conceived assumptions, as well! Nice run on sentence, non?

What of the "the Americans of the 30s and 40s"?  I'd hazard a guess they greatly appreciated awakening from a society that once, in an earlier day, may have encouraged deep slumber in any number of ways.  Awakening, pleasantly surprised, only to find themselves in a society that rained and purveyed upon them all the nuances and the multiplicity of ingenious inventions!

As we go Rogue, we'll begin to look at those beginnings,...let's start at an age when Television was in her infancy and radio still provided virtuosity, variety and giddiness when times would allow....

From FM radio, drive-in movies and the jet engine of the 1930s, we re-introduce:

As I  forayed many vast runs into history, expended much remarkable time and quality into the research which underpins this tome (wink)...I can say, the discovering of each detail has been enlightening and remarkable!  And here too, I must add a caveat...this lovely article is not a substitute or supplement for a complete American History of Gadgets, Gizmos, Electric and Electronics or menue! But, rather a stimulus to history appreciation and a barring of impediments in our rich history.

Hope you've found this bit 'o the blog fanciful to scan about and through, comfortable to curl up with, enlightening to read,  food for fodder, tickling to the funny bone and thoughtful of yesterday once more. If you like,...give me some Skin as from the singing diddy in this blog, by the remarkable Andrew Sisters! Feel free to download, access, grab your partner or Skip To The Lou as you may feel necessary.

Show me a good blog anytime, and I'll show you a thinker and a doer.
