Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1951-02-08

3&#:.&3s MI SSf portant special
Sgt. BrOtOa lied ground work
to keep the defense line rolling.
Just thought it worth while to put
in challenging appeal for more
Soldiers and Marines. Though
many are air=minded, ut least ff-
teen from the county coined the
Army" during the past week or so
and from reports picked up from
the local Marine Corps recruiting
sergeants, it looks as if they too
have had busy week.
In the newspaper field, good
writer doesn't apologize for un-
finished reporting. Having to
journey to Camp Lee for d day or
so, the usual enlistment report is
omitted. Next week the names of
those volunteering will be released.
THE GALLOWAY STORY
1t takes more than honorable men,
tioning to appreciate the spirit of
our American soldiers particular
ly those now fighting in the
frozen rice paddles of Korea. This
story is about Billy and Melvin
Galloway of Route /, Rockville.
Billy, with the occupational forces
in Japan at the beginning of the
Korean outburst last June. was
! whisked off to help push back the
communist. At that time, Melvin,
the older of the two brothers, en-
ployed by Veterans Cab Service at
Rockville and veteran-soldier of
the 1947 occupational forces in
Korea, decided to join his brother
on the fighting front. After volun-
teering for reenlistment last Aug
ust, he asked for immediate duty
to the far east. Word was received
this week from the 1st Cavalry Di-
vision, that both are now assigned
together with the 82nd Field Ar
tillery in war-torn Korea. The
Calloway's are one of three sets
of brothers assigned together with
in the same unit.

A column of this kind can get
plenty rusty. For several years,
during the time when the life of
a recruiting sergeant" was con-
sidered by many to be racket,
most of the material tossed into
the bulletin" was gathered by the
usual grapevine. Now it's a diff
ferent story. Most of my time is
absorbed in securing more boys for
the Armed Forces. This is where
you can help. Commencing next
week this article will be consol-
idated to include all of the Armed
Forces be it Army, Navy, Air
Force, or the Marine Corps. If
unification can work at the Pen
tagon then it's good enough for
US. If you know news of someone
now in the service, whether it's
your son, brother, husband, or
friend, let's hear from you. Give
me a call at the Rockville Recruit
ing Station, located in the Pro-
fessional Building number is
Rockville 2147 or address your let
tiers to Box l21. Rockville.
