"I was on Munda, island of New Georgia [Solomon Islands], in the Southwest Pacific for 15 months for communications to [illegible] base, which had Air Force, Seabees, Marines, Navy, and Army. Major [Richard] Bong flew off this island while I was there. Made a few stops en route and also on way to Manila, where I was with troops to invade Japan. Thanks to President Truman, who ordered the atomic bomb twice and stopped the planned invasion. I got to Yokohama for 2 months from where I came home to San Francisco and was discharged at Fort Sheridan, Illinois."
