Sergeant Home for Holiday,
Happy, But Fears DISCHARGE

Staff Sergt. Donald L. Bridges. 81,
Of 1014 South Carolina avenue Sc,
is looking forward to spending
Christmas at home, but at the same
time he is afraid the injuries he
suffered while flying over Germany
are going to mean his discharge
from the Army.
Sergt. Bridges didn't want to
leave active service, but a doctor
checked up on him and asked Won
deringly, How do you keep going?
You're half dead right now" The
sergeant admitted he had lost As
pounds, but he thought what the
doctor said was an overstatement
However, Sergt. Bridges was sent
back home-not to his squadron. as
he had asked.
Now at Camp Springs.
He spent three weeks at home
visiting his mother, Mrs. Annie
Frye, and the last four weeks he
has spent at Camp Springs, Md, in
hospital.
His trouble dates back to flight
over Bremen last December. The
Flying Fortress of which he was
crew member was traversing the
Purple Heart corner" of the for
nation in Bremen attack: that is,
the last ship in the formation, which
is the first target the enemy planes
pick out.
Sergt. Bridges was in the ball
turret as usual and the enemv

planes came in. Two engines were
hit and an oil line broken. The
oil covered the window of the ball
turret of the big plane, and Sergt.
Bridges took the windows out so
he could see. His oxygen froze,
and when a companion came to
check up on him later he thought
Sergt. Bridges was dead. He was
revived, however, but his hands and
feet were frozen and, ironically. one
OF his hands was burned by the
electrical equipment.
Wounded Second Time.
He spent 10 days in a hospital
at Oxford and then talked his way
back to his squadron. Later his
plane came back from an attack
on Frankfurt with 1872 holes in it,
and with Sergt. Bridges suffering
back injuries which he believed
needed no attention.
After 80 missions he was trans
ferred to job as instructor, and
when ne tried to get back to his
squadron again he was given a
physical checkup and sent home,
but he brought with him the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross with one
Oak Leaf Cluster, the Air Medal
with five clusters, and the Purple
Heart.
