sometimes yelled at our drivers up
around Mount Suribachi to jump off
their ducks and take cover. The
drivers had to stand up, exposed, to
unharness the howitzers. The
Gyrenes thought we were crazy,
but we figured if they could land
on this place we could give them
the stuff to make the landing stick"
By now it is known that the
landing has "stuck." 1t is impos-
sible to list all the boys whose
ducks carried guns in during the
hectic hours of D-Day. Anyway,
they aren't asking for credit, they'll
take little rest, instead.
Three of them are from the st.
Louis (Mo.) area. They are Army
Privates Calvin C. Davis, of 1882
Bell Avenue, and Edward Turner,
of 1904 Hickory Street, st. Louis,
and Technician Fifth Grade Fred
L. Watson, of % North 14th Street,
East St. Louis, Ill.
They are all dug in, now, on the
fringe of beach near Iwo's southern
end. At night they can hear the
thunder of the 1865 they brought
in. They grew fond of those big
fellows. Anyone ashore on Two
that first day grew fond of them.
People aren't running around
tossing salutes and back-slaps al
other people here. There is uni
versal thankfulness among those
still working and fighting to be
alive.
But the marines are grateful tC
this company of Negro boys.
They'll remember them as long
as they remember Two Jima, and
that will be pretty close to always.
