Title A name given to the resource Insel-Bücherei Series Description An account of the resource The German publishing company Insel Verlag was founded in 1899 by Anton Kippenberg in Leipzig. In its early years the firm only printed expensive, beautifully-produced volumes, until demand led to the publication of the more modest Insel-Bücherei series in 1912. Relatively inexpensive but with the same careful sense of design and typography, these smaller-format books reprinted shorter works from a variety of German, European, and world authors. The series numbers considerably more than a thousand titles and is still being issued. The Digital Collection contains the scanned covers of 140 titles held by Grand Valley State University Libraries.

Where and when were you born? I was born in Grand Rapids and six months after I was born my folks moved to Grandville, Michigan. I lived in Grandville until the depression. My dad lost the house and they moved us out onto a farm, I lived on a farm. Interviewer: What kind of work had your father been doing? My dad was a car salesman, and of course he lost his job. Interviewer: Whose farm did you go to live on? He rented one, and then us kids—then we started eating good because we grew our stuff, but when we were in the city there we didn’t eat very good. We had to go barefoot in the summer because we couldn’t wear out our shoes and if our shoes wore out we had to cut cardboard and stuff it in the holes, so we didn’t walk on the ground. When spring came we had to take our shoes off and we had to go barefoot, except on Sundays when we could wear our shoes. 1:23 Interviewer: Where was the farm? The farm was in Grandville. It was over on what is 28th Street now, but we moved over on the farm there and us kids had to slop the pigs and chase the cows and everything. At 1 �the time we thought it was kind of rough, but now when I look back on it, my folks were the ones that had it rough. Interviewer: How many kids were in the family? There were six of us, four boys and two girls. Interviewer: Did you finish high school? I graduated on June 15th and joined the Marines in 1941 and I went into the Marine Corps on the 25th of June. Interviewer: Why did you decide to join the Marines? That’s a good question. I think what influenced me was the uniform, really, but I thought over the years—I don’t know, I had a girl friend and I was doing good, I don’t know why I went in because it was before the war. 2:32 Interviewer: they were recruiting at that time. They were trying to build up the armed forces. Did you figure it was because there weren’t a lot of job prospects, so joining the military made sense? Me and a buddy of mine went down to Grand Rapids and how we ran into this Marine recruiting office I don’t know, but he couldn’t pass because on account of his dad he couldn’t get in the Marine Corps, but I had rheumatic fever once and my mother went to the doctor and he said, ―don’t worry, he won’t pass‖, and of course they just shoved me right on through. Interviewer: Once you are accepted in where did you go for basic training? I started out from Grand Rapids in a bus and they took us to Detroit and then we got on a train in Detroit and picked up a bunch of recruits. 3:33 Then we went to Chicago and stopped and got some more recruits. Then we started to go south and one thing I thought 2 �was awfully funny, we were going along and this one kid from Chicago said, ―look, look, there’s a cow‖, and we said, ―Cow, what’s the big deal about a cow?‖ Well, he’d never seen one; he’d never been out of Chicago. Then we got down to Parris Island, South Carolina and it was raining, and I had worn my brown and white shoes and all my best clothes and they were marching us. When we got to camp there was a big puddle of water there and we walked around it and they backed us up and made us walk right through it, and I thought, ―Gee, what did I get into here?‖ 4:35 A couple days later we went to the barber shop and they cut off all of our hair. This one kid from Philadelphia had this wavy hair and he was all upset, but it didn’t bother me. In the Marine Corps you got paid twice a month and when we went to get paid the first time they gave you a bucket that you washed your clothes in and in the bucket was paper and pencil to write home, stuff to clean your rifle with and soap and that. They gave you that bucket and they gave you a fifty-cent piece. You only made twenty-one dollars and I thought, ―What the devil did I get into? Here I’m getting paid and I get fifty-cents?‖ That kind of set me back. 5:31 Interviewer: How did the drill instructors treat you? Back in those days they were pretty rough. They wouldn’t let them do what they did today. I remember one Sunday, we were supposed to wear our dress shoes, and we had a corporal and a sergeant who was our instructor and this corporal came back and he was a little tipsy and he saw this one kid without his shoes on, so they called us all outside and they lined us up in two rows and we had to take off our belts. The belts had clips on both ends, of course, of the belt, and he made us run through the line and you had to hit the guy as you went by and if you didn’t hit your buddy you had to go back through again. 3 �That was one of the—they wouldn’t allow that today, but back in those days it was pretty rough. 6:30 Interviewer: How did you hold up under all that? Were you in good shape? Oh yeah, I played a lot of sports in school and I was in good shape. When we got done, when we graduated, they sent me to Quantico, Virginia and they put me in the air force and they sent me down to Jacksonville, Florida to go to this school and while we were on vacation, or on leave really for a week-end, that’s when the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor. They confiscated all the busses and they went through the bull horns yelling, ―all Marines, sailors, Army, back to your base‖, so they took us back to the base and the funny thing about it, they sent all—it was a naval base, the naval school I was going to, and they sent all the sailors out in the woods and they had all the Marines line up in front of the administration building. 7:45 At that time we had the old WWI rifles and they gave us each a clip of, which I think had five shells in it, and there we stood. I don’t know what they thought we were going to do, but it was complete chaos when we landed. Interviewer: How long did it take until things quieted down a little bit? It was quite a while because after that, I don’t know how much longer it was, a week or so, they yelled and we all had to get up and they heard a plane coming. Well, it ended up being one of our own P-40s, but they blacked out the whole camp and they fell the Marines out in front of the administration building and, of course, we had our rifles and our hats. 8:38 They didn’t call them hats, but everything was blacked out and here came this car with its lights off coming to pick up the commander. He didn’t see us and he slammed right into all the Marines standing there. I lost my hat and I lost my rifle, a couple kids got killed and I don’t know how many got wounded, but that was real chaos. 4 �It was so black you couldn’t really blame the guy because he couldn’t see, but that was quite an experience. Interviewer: when you were down there in Jacksonville, what aspect of the Marine air service were you trained for? Were you going to be ground crew or flight crew? No, I was going to be just in the ground crew like a mechanic or something. 9:31 It was a funny thing down there, we were there and there were a bunch of Englishmen down there too, and every Saturday we would have a contest to see who was the best marcher, and of course I was sure we were, and it was a funny thing, every time they voted it always came out a tie. I guess they didn’t want us to know, but I know darn well that we were the best ones. Then they sent me back to Quantico and I was put in the—like mechanics and they put me in one where—back in those days the controls were all in— you had to put cloth on them and here I thought I was a hairy Marine and here I was working on a sewing machine stitching that stuff on there. I thought, ―Boy, this is great. Here I am a Marine and I’m doing that‖. 10:43 I made sergeant and corporal while I was there, but I was kind of embarrassed thinking I’m a hairy Marine and what am I doing sitting here with a needle stitching things? Back in those days you had to volunteer for the paratroopers and they put up note asking for volunteers and I thought, ―here’s my chance to get out of there‖, because I wanted to go fight, so I volunteered for the Marine Corps paratroopers. I got a real nasty letter from my sister saying I wasn’t thinking of my folks by doing it. 11:29 Interviewer: Now, when was it that you signed up for that? Was it in 1942 or was it later than that? 5 �Yeah, it must have been—well I’d been at Quantico long enough to make sergeant, so I must have been there a couple of years, but I can’t remember, but then I signed up and the sent me to North Carolina. Interviewer: Before we go on with your story—you’re at Quantico then for a fair amount of time. What did you do there besides sewing? That was about it. I was a real hairy Marine sitting there stitching. Interviewer: Was there—did they have a lot of guys doing that? There was a master sergeant and a sergeant, an aid and there were two women, civilians that worked in there. You had to stitch that on and after you stitched it on you took it in and you painted—put some stuff on it, it was white and I don’t know what it was, and that made it hard and then you painted it blue after you got done. Then it went back and they put them on the ships, but I didn’t think much of a Marine Corps being a—sitting there with a needle. I was embarrassed to tell anybody what I was doing. 12:49 Interviewer: Did you get much of a chance to go off the base? I mean, did you get leave or anything? Oh yeah Interviewer: Where did you go when you could go off base? Oh, I went to Washington D.C. mostly, we went to Washington D.C., and that would be mostly on weekends. Interviewer: What was going on there? What was there to do when you went there? Well, I use to go around, and I should have taken more advantage of it, but I use to go around—we did a lot of partying. It was just full of Marines and sailors and soldiers, and 6 �we just went around and I went around the different monuments and that, but I should have done more of it. 13:37 Interviewer: Mostly you went there because it was a big city and it was something to do. That was the biggest place around. There was some little town down there we use to go to too, but I forget what the name of it was. Interviewer: Now, you get accepted into the paratrooper program and what do you do in the way of training for that? Well, when we got—they sent me down to North Carolina then where I trained for the paratroopers and then, I would say, there were about forty or fifty in the class. By the time we graduated there were only twenty-two of us, I think, that were left. In the paratroopers you had to pass a real test and it was all volunteers, the paratroopers, and you quit anytime you wanted to until you got your wings, but once you got your wings you were court marshaled if you didn’t bail out. 14:42 We ran, everyplace we went we ran, we got up at five o’clock in the morning and you would go exercise for an hour and then you would run and run and in the afternoon you would run. If anybody passed out you just pulled them over into the ditch until they came to. When they walked back to camp they kicked them out of the paratroopers and put them back in the Marines. I’ll never forget, one time, you know you do all the exercising and running and you are really hungry, and we were in the chow line and we were hungry—it makes me think of pictures I saw where these prisoners bang on the table, and we all started banging on the table wanting more food. 15:38 finally the captain came in and he made them cook up some more food, so we got more food, but it was real rough. We had to pack our own 7 �chutes until you got your wings. The first time I jumped, the plane was a D-4 and it used to come down and pick-up a load and they would go up and it was over an airfield, and they would jump out and then they would come down and get another load. The load before I had to go up there, they bailed out and this one guy bailed out and his chute never opened. He came straight down and you could see, it was just over the airport, and he bounced, and I can still see him bouncing. 16:29 I was a sergeant at that time and I had to be the first one to go out the door and they brought that helmet in there and that helmet was all cracked. They said, ―now see, if you didn’t pack your chute right that’s what’s going to happen to you‖, and that didn’t make it any easier. When they got up there, and I was a sergeant at that time, so I had to go out first and they use to say,‖ hook on, stand-by, go‖, and to this day I don’t remember them saying go, but I stood by the door looking down at the ground going by me like that and I thought, ―I’ll do this once, but that’s the last time‖. He said, ―Go‖, and in the Marine Corps we dove out, in the Army they jumped out, but we went out headfirst. As I was coming, once it opened up you would say, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, and if it didn’t open you had this other chute in front of you and you would open that. I bailed out and once it opens—that was a lot of fun, you hit the ground and you want to go right back up there. 17:43 That day four of our guys ran right by the door and wouldn’t bail out, and when we landed they came and took these guys out and put them back in the regular Marine Corps. They said, ―See what would happen if we were in combat and you froze in the door? You would miss where you were landing‖, so they kicked them out. We had a lot of guys that when we were running and they got tired or something, or the heat would bother them and they would fall, we’d just pull them over off the road and leave them lay there until they came to. 8 �When they came to they’d walk back in and they would kick them out of the paratroopers. In the paratroopers you had to be—when you were done with that you were in real good condition. 18:37 I think, like I said, we started out with about forty and only twenty-two of us graduated. After I graduated they sent me to Camp Pendleton. We went to Camp Pendleton and we lived up in the mountains in tents. It was pretty rough up there because you didn’t have any floor. The only floor was in the ―head," which the Army calls ‖latrine‖, that’s the only floor there was. In the Marine Corps we got paid twice a month, so what we would do—as soon as you got paid we were in the ―head’ shooting dice. Guys were sitting over there shooting dice up there. 19:36 We trained up there for, I don’t know how long, and then they disbanded the Marines [paratroopers] because, I was told and I suppose it’s right, they told us the islands were too small to jump on, so they formed the 5th Marine Corps [Division]. The nucleus of the 5th Marines was the paratroopers and the raiders, and then they had all rookies. They trained us out there and then they shipped me—we shipped to Hawaii and we were on the big island, at Hilo. When we got off the ship they put us on flat cars and towed us way up by this volcano and we trained up there. I forget how long we trained up there. Hilo wasn’t much of a town, so we didn’t see much, but just before we shipped out they took us over to Hawaii to Honolulu. 20:41 We thought that was really something. Interviewer: Now when they had you training on the big island, was that kind of jungle country that you were training in? No, there were volcanoes, a big volcano right up there. It was all—there was practically nothing there at all. 9 �Interviewer: I guess if they were planning on sending you to Iwo Jima, which is a little volcanic island, I guess that made some sense. Yeah, that made some sense, but you know at one time, the kids like me to tell this story. I was a sergeant there and I was the guide and this one sergeant we had, the head, when was a staff sergeant, he fell us out and he had been training women Marines and he didn’t know anything about the Marine Corps. He was a great one for inspection all the time, so he fell us out for inspection and I was between tow sergeant guys, so I would stand by myself with the platoon there, but he handed me his rifle to hold while he inspected and I looked at it an oh was it dirty, holy smokes. 21:51 One thing in the Marine Corps you took care of your rifle and I looked at that and said ―holy smokes‖, and I turned around and there was a corporal standing there and I said, ―here take this rifle‖, and he said, ―no, no‖, and I said, ―you heard me, take that rifle‖, so he took this sergeant's rifle and gave me his and he came through inspecting the rifles and he grabbed that rifle and it was dirty. Oh, was it dirty, and he goes like that and he rubs it on and he was eating this corporal out and finally the corporal said, ―well sergeant, it’s not nine, it’s your rifle. Sergeant Austin gave it to me ―. Oh, he closed ranks and he brought me into his tent and he said, ―I got a good reason to run you up to the captain‖, and I said, ―Why don’t you do that, but be sure to take your rifle with you?‖ 22:41 After that we never got along too well together. I kind of put him on the spot, but it was—I did some funny things when I was in the Marine Corps. Interviewer: Was he the company sergeant? Was he ranked a greater sergeant than you at that point? 10 �We were in the first platoon and you had a staff sergeant, and you had a sergeant guide, which I was, and then you had your platoon. I forget how many in the platoon, so that was in A Company, I was in A Company. We trained up there and then they loaded us up and they didn’t tell us where we were going until we got out to sea, and they told us that we were going to Iwo Jima and nobody knew what Iwo Jima was. 23:37 We didn’t know what the heck it was and we got to Saipan and we were on a troop ship there, and that’s another funny thing about that troop ship, we got in a –it was rough, seasick and everything. We were on there and when you went to chow you come up the gangplank up there and they only let a couple guys out at a time and you had to grab this railing and walk down along and walk back down to where you ate. You ate at these long tables and at the end of the table there was a big fifty gallon bucket setting there and you would be eating and other Marines would be there throwing up in this thing. Oh, it was rough and I don’t know the ship stayed together. It just shook like that, and when we were out there something went wrong with the sewage system in there. 24:43 They didn’t have toilets, all they had is troughs you sat on and as the ship rolled you would pick up you feet and the waste would go by you and when it went back you would pick up your feet again and it went back. That was quite a thing, that troop ship, you know. On a troop ship you sleep about that much apart and you get all those guys in there at night it was pretty smelly in there. We were on this troop ship and they took us to Saipan and I don’t remember how long we laid out there on the bay, but finally we were going to Iwo. I was in A Company, but they assigned me to go in with the first wave. 25:40 I think it was B and C that went in first. I was supposed to go in with the first wave and I was supposed to report back to the captain. 11 �Interviewer: Did you have a radio? How would you communicate? No, I had to come back and tell him. We got off the troop ship and you had to be careful, you had to go down, you saw them, ropes that you went down and if you didn’t time it right, as the ship went up like this the other one dropped and if you let go you fell, so you had to time it just right. As you were coming down there as the ship came up, you could just step off it. Interviewer: Were you getting into landing craft? We were getting into landing craft, an LST [ LVT], and we were getting into that and some guys missed it and went in the water and some guy went bang, but I was fortunate, I got on there. 26:39 We took off for Iwo Jima and that night before we went to sleep they fed us like kings. We never been fed so good before. We had hamburgers and everything and we though, ―boy this is a good deal‖, and of course, it’s the first time I’d been in combat and I was looking forward to it, which wasn’t too smart. We took off and that night when we went to be there was about eight of these small LST’s and in the bottom was where these half-tracks were they were supposed to take you right up on the island. They were just small and I showed you the picture of me on it in that book there. 27:33 Interviewer: Now, the LST’s were the ships that had the door that opened in the front? They would open and when we did it we went down, but the night before there were only about six or eight of us and when we got to Iwo, and I don’t remember how many miles it was, eight or nine hundred miles, but holy, when the sun came up you couldn’t believe the amount of ships that were there. My God, there were ships--there were cruisers in 12 �there, there were aircraft carriers and the Missouri was a battleship. When we had a load we went down below to get in these half-tracks we had to come up to the Missouri and go around it and go around in front and they were shooting out there and I never saw flames—off those great big guns, you know. The flames would go for, gee, I don’t know for how long right over the top of us. 28:34 We started in to land and I still forget—I should have put the gun to his head, this sailor got us in about, oh, fifty yards or a hundred yards, I don’t know, and said he couldn’t go any further. He told us to bail out. Well, I think he was nothing but yellow. We jumped out and when you jump, we were in water up to our necks, so we had to go ashore and we went ashore and when the first wave—before that they saw along the edge there was a bunch of tanks there and they looked like fifty gallon drums and the Marines thought they were going to be fire, so the first wave, we had to put all this white stuff on our faces and our hands, and if anything explodes you put that stuff on and it was just white. 29:41 We started in to land and I’ll never forget, this one sergeant he had been on Guadalcanal and there he was in the corner crying and he wouldn’t even move because he knew what he was going to. At that time we thought it was kind of odd. Interviewer: When you were trained, when you were in Hawaii, were you trained by people who had combat experience? Oh yeah Interviewer: They didn’t tell you much about their experience? No, they didn’t tell you much about it. Two of my best friends, they were both Indians, one was from a New York reservation and one from out west someplace, and I never saw them again. I was told they both lost their lives on Iwo Jima. They were paratroopers, 13 �one was a Raider and one was a paratrooper and they had both been on Guadalcanal, but they never told us much about it. 30:40 Here I am a young kid, I was about twenty-two and I was all ―eager Beaver‖, and I found out. We got out about fifty yards from the thing and he told us to bail out, so we did jump out. We landed on the island and nothing happened. It was just like-Interviewer: Now, were you driving the half-tracks out or did they stay in the boat? No, he turned around and took them back. He went back and I’ll never forget that, and of course, he had to go back and get some more to come in. The first wave, we landed on the island and it was just like going down to Holland, no body was there, and of course, you couldn’t see anything because they were all underground. We landed and, what the heck, what are you going to do? They let three waves get in and then they opened up on it. Mt. Suribachi was on the left and we were supposed to go up straight and capture this airfield and turn right. 31:50 Well, they shot these mortars from Mt. Suribachi and they would shoot them down and you could hear them coming and they were just coming right down there. You could hear them coming and you just laid there and kind of praying and they would lift you right off the ground while you—you couldn’t dig a hole because it was lava and it was hot and you would go down that far and it was hot. You would hear them coming and you would just lie there like that. There was this kid laying in this hole, which I suppose was done by our big guns, and we were laying there with our hands over our head like that and he was behind me there and it would lift you right off the ground and after it went by me I turned and his head was off. 32:57 When I rose up like that there was, and I can still see it after sixty years, there was the brains or the guts or something, and there it lay right next to my head. I looked at it, of course and it was 14 �quite an experience because there he lay without any head. Then I got up and I ran ahead and we use to see these cowboy shows where somebody got shot and they went like this, and that’s exactly how it happened. We were running and this guy up ahead of me all of a sudden, he went down and there was a pillbox up ahead of me and I thought it was knocked out because they had been shooting weeks before I guess, but they never did any good because they were all underground. 34:03 I dove into kind of a hole next to that pillbox and I laid there and I was going to get up to move and I heard a ―pop‖ and I turned around and there was a hand grenade, a Jap hand grenade—our hand grenades would bust up into big pieces, but theirs were smooth and broke up in slivers. I was told later, and I don’t know if it’s true or not, they said the reason theirs were that way was they figured they would wound us soldiers and then it would take another one to take care of us. So, I looked at it, when I heard that ―pop‖ I looked at it and it went off. Of course I had all this white stuff on my face and everything, and I got shrapnel in my face and then I got up and moved out and a guy grabbed me and he thought I had lost my buttons. 35:06 I must have looked pretty bad with that white stuff on my face and blood all over. He threw me down and he told me—I forget, he was trying to help me or something, but I kept saying, ―no, no, I got to get back and tell the Captain‖, so there I laid and I was pretty dazed, I guess because I forgot a lot of it, but I know when they took me back to go onto a hospital ship, and they took me down to where we landed there were dead Marines all over. They were piled up and you had to step over them, and you heard crying and you heard yelling ―Corpsman‖, ―Corpsman‖ and guys screaming and these kids crying, and, of course, Marines cry, but you would cry too if you lost your leg or your buddy died in your arms. 36:14 You had to step over all these dead Marines and they were just 15 �piled one on top of another. The Japs really knew they knew they could have attacked and pushed us right back because it was complete chaos, nobody knew what they were doing, and when the tanks came in they couldn’t go because of the lava rock. They took me out on the hospital ship, but like I told my son, I can’t remember anything about the hospital ship, but he said, they probably had me doped up and maybe they did, I just can’t—the only thing I remember is when the flag went up on Iwo Jima, all the ship, they blew their horns and they were really blowing their horns and all that. 37:12 They put me on this hospital ship, but I don’t remember anything about it. They took me back to Saipan to a hospital and I don’t know how long I was there. Then they took me to Hawaii, to a hospital in Hawaii. Well, I had all this shrapnel in my face and I had some in my eye, so the doctor said he had to operate on my eye. I can still see it today, they deaden it, of course, but I was conscious and I can still see that knife, it was bent like that, and I can still—they had to go in, and he explained what they were going to do. 38:18 They cut my eye and they had to make a hole so they could use a magnet to pull the metal out of my eye, and jeez it felt like they pulled my whole dang eye out. So, they had had to pull the skin down over that hole and put two stitches in each side so it would grow over. Then they put me in the ward and I laid flat on my back there for thirty some days. They had sand bags on both sides of my head and I never got so sick of Hawaiian music in all of my life. 39:01 Of course they were trying to build up your morale and they put those earphones on and played and played that Hawaiian music until I thought geese, and then these red cross, these women, they had to feed me because I had to lay there with those sandbags on my head and they would tell me what they had for dinner that day, or supper, what it was and this one day this woman was telling me and she said 16 �they had spinach and I said, ―don’t give me any spinach‖, holy smoke, I’ll never forget the poor woman she’s trying to build up my morale and asking me about what I did and all about my girlfriend and she gave me a mouthful of spinach and I said, ―ugh‖, and I threw that out. That poor woman, you should have heard her and seen her, she was so sorry, she was begging me to forgive her, but that was kind of funny. 40:15 I laid there over thirty days. Well they give you a shot and I don’t know how many days, I guess it was Penicillin, first they give it in this shoulder and then they do it in the other shoulder and finally it got so hard they started giving it in my butt. After that they—I laid there thirty-one days or something and they took me in—they had to take the stitches out, the doctor had to take the stitches out and the doctor told me that when I got older I would lose control of my eye and it was going to just roll around, but thank god that never happened. Then they took those stitches out and I was there for quite a while. I was in the hospital, I guess, for over nine months. 41:07 Then they took me back to Farragut, Idaho, to the hospital up in Farragut, Idaho and I was in the hospital in Farragut, Idaho and that’s when the war was over. Well, all these guys were celebrating, but we just had a little old town that wasn’t as big as Wyoming. We went to town, but there were only one or two bars in it, a few grocery stores and a gas station or something. Interviewer: Now after those first thirty days, those first thirty days that you were in the hospital there, were your arms and legs restrained too? You said your head was between sandbags. No Interviewer: So you could move your hands and that? 17 �Yes, I could move my hands, but later in life I had something wrong with my knee and this doctor x-rayed my side here and he said, ―boy, when you got shot by that shotgun it sure left a lot of pellets in your leg‖, and I said, ―I never got shot by a shotgun, that’s the metal from a grenade‖, so I still got it in my leg, but it never did bother me. 42:24 The slivers they took out of my face, they would just pick it out and it was just small slivers, the same as what was in my eye, but I lost the fluid behind my eye and that’s why I have bad eyesight here. So, they shipped me up to that hospital and I was there, I don’t know how long, but it was too long anyway. After that I still had time to do because I had signed over—the war was over. 42:59 Interviewer: When did you re-enlist? Was it before you went to Iwo Jima? Well, before, when we were in Saipan they came and said that anybody whose time was up within six months could re-enlist and you could get that, I think it was four hundred dollars. Did I tell you that already? Interviewer: No, not on camera. Well, you could re-enlist and you could get four hundred dollars, I think it was. I thought that is I was going to get killed my folks might as well have that, so I reenlisted and, of course, in that six months after the war was over I still had eighteen months to do, which I wasn’t really sorry. Then they took me back to San Diego, but then they needed guards now at Norfolk, Virginia, so they sent me down to Norfolk, Virginia and I was a guard there on a naval base. 44:05 I was there until my time was up and then they sent me to Chicago and I was discharged from Chicago. Interviewer: What was your experience like in Norfolk? Was that a good base to be working at? 18 �Oh yeah, I thought I had a good job. First I was a guard there and then they made me the Colonel’s driver. You had to keep that car all polished and everything like that and you had to be dressed up all the time. I would pick him up at eight o’clock in the morning and take him back at five o’clock at night day after day and I had to be always dressed and sharp and polished and I would sit there in the barracks and wait for him if he called me. 45:01 That’s when I would go down to the mess hall and the mess sergeant and I would play cribbage and you can’t imagine how many times we played cribbage. Oh my gosh, all day long and here I would wait for him and I’d pick him up at five and take him home. Well, he had back trouble and I would have to take him to the hospital. One time I took him to the hospital and when he was in the hospital I fell asleep in the car and when he came out he shook me and woke me up. You are supposed to be there to open up the car door for him and close it and I got all excited and jammed it into reverse and backed right into a telephone pole and he had just got done having work done on his back and I can still hear him, he went ―uugh‖ and I was just shaking, but he didn’t say anything until the next morning when I picked him up. He said, ―Did you damage the car yesterday?‖ I said, ―no’, and he was a real good guy. 46:13 I would pick him up there. I would play baseball for the Marines there and we would play the city league and the city league asked me to play with them and I don’t want to brag, but I was a pretty good ball player and the sports writer for the paper called up the Colonel, and they had a tryout, the Yankees had a minor league club there and this sports writer asked if I could come down there, and another guy, for a picture. The Colonel said, ―I’m not a Yankee fan, but you can take a Jeep‖, so he let me drive a jeep down there. 47:12 Of course, I wasn’t the caliber of that and it didn’t work out. I wasn’t as good as I thought I was, but 19 �then I did my time and when my time was up I went to Chicago. I got separated and it was over with. Interviewer: Did they make any effort to encourage you to stay in and become a lifer? No, most guys wanted out. When your time comes they came and said, ―Austin, get packed up, you have to go get separated‖, so I did, but another guy and I did offer the Marines if they needed any Marines because the old timer was saying how great China was, so we asked them if they needed anybody in China and they said no. That’s the only time and I would have reenlisted then, but when he said that, I didn’t, so I got separated. 48:26 Since then I’ve been real fortunate, I got eleven grand children. Interviewer: Did you come back home once you were discharged? Yes, I came back home then. Interviewer: What kind of work did you go into then? When I got homer my brother and I went in the trucking business and we delivered refrigerators and stoves. Well, we got caught going to Muskegon without a license and you can’t go more than six miles from you office, which was our house, without a MSC license and we got caught going to Muskegon. I said to my brother, ―this is it, we have to go get a license‖, so we went down to Lansing to get a license and they had a bunch of lawyers from these big companies and they said they didn’t need another MSC license in Grand Rapids and we were tow little guys wanting to get a license. 49:32 I said to my brother, ―I’m not going to that the rest of my life‖, so we gave it up and I went to Steelcase. I started our in the factory and then I was promoted to the office, to the PIC, and they promoted me out to shipping and I was a supervisor in shipping and I shipped to 20 �all of our foreign—to Japan, to North Carolina, and to Canada. I did that until I had thirty-two years at Steelcase and then I retired when I was fifty-nine years old and I’ve been real fortunate since then to have so many nice grand children and everything. 50:23 they look after me pretty good, so I have no complaints, but like I say, I’m no hero, the hero’s are the dead ones. That’s my life. Interviewer: How do you think that whole experience in the Marine Corps wound up affecting you, aside from the injury, the rest of that experience there, was it a good one for you or what did you gain from it? At first when I got out I had trouble because I would see that guy in the hole with me, and I can still see those guts after sixty some years, I can still see that. 51:17 I was fortunate that I was strong enough—we got a lot of these kids coming back for Iraq that are committing suicide and people, a lot of people, kind of look down on them and that, but until you have been in the war and heard this screaming and hollering and the blood, nobody can believe what these kids over in Iraq are going through. Over there they don’t know who the enemy is and we knew out in front of us. Over there, I could be talking to you and you could go outside and shoot me. They’re going through things that the average people have no idea and that’s why--I play poker twice a week and I’m not in favor of Bush and I have some thing that bother me. 52:19 This one day this one guy said, ―You know you’re talking about the President?‖ I said, ―Isn’t this a great country that I can stand here and call him names and not be afraid that you’re going to go and tell somebody?‖ In some other countries they could go and tell them what I said about their leader and they come and throw me in jail. I said, ―that’s what I fought for, freedom of 21 �speech, and that’s why I’m calling him names‖. Over in Iraq, I just can’t believe what these kids are going through. 52:57 The average person has no idea. Interviewer: No they don’t and we have no draft. In Vietnam they had some of the same thing, but you had the draftees. Eventually you had the public outcry because of that. All of this is why it’s important that you come in here and tell us what you saw because it’s a reminder that war is not just a chess game or a ball game, it’s a really, really nasty business, and they do some terrible things. 53:27 People just don’t realize it that when you hear this screaming and yelling, ―Corpsman, ―Corpsman‖. I’ll never forget seeing this one Sargent, he went running there and his legs were blown off and he was running on just stumps and he was screaming—I can still see him running, and, of course, he dropped dead. People just have no idea what they’re going through today and right now red, white and blue runs through my veins, but I’m still bitter about him being in Iraq and these guys, what they are going through. You can’t explain it and nobody can really understand what those kids are going through. 54:19 Those kids are coming back and committing suicide from things they saw and done, and the average person, just like now, who gives a heck is what I think. I served my country, so what? Interviewer: More people care than you might think, and just by you telling your story and encouraging people to do that, it does get their attention and actually part of this project includes talking to people who come back from Iraq and Afghanistan and recording their stories too, so we don’t forget. So, all of this, it’s important for a lot of the reasons that you just said. I want to thank you for coming in here and talking to me today. 22 �Well, you know what I think they should do, I think that in school they should start out every morning they should say the pledge of allegiance. Every morning they should sing the national anthem. 55:16 How many people actually know the national anthem? We got away from that and I don’t think today that they really give a hoot about me, or what I went through. I’m sure, like a guy said to me the other day, and he was an old timer, he said, ―you know, what do you think the youth of today would do if we were attacked? I don’t think they would go‖. Well, I don’t think that at all. I think if we were attacked our youth would join in just like that guy did because in WWII as soon as we were attacked they lined up to get in there and I have enough faith in my youth that they would do the same thing, but to go over and fight a was like in Iraq, I don’t know what were fighting for. 56:15 I can see why the youth of today says ―to heck with it‖, but if anybody attacked us, I think they would be there. Interviewer: I work with people of that are all the time and I expect that they would. I have faith in our youth because the majority are good people, but they have so many things that they can get into trouble with today and the percentage is actually small, but the papers are full of it. I’m toughly convinced that they would defend our country. We did it for the rite to call our leaders any names we want to. We got a bunch of squirrels in Washington D.C. that—I won’t go into that, but I’m just a little bitter about--Interviewer: Sometimes we can vote them out of office. That’s what we should do, I’m an Independent myself, but that’s the sad part, a lot of Democrats and Republicans, if they put up a jackass, they would vote for them. 57:26 They don’t look at—you know you can’t agree with everybody and I think—I voted 23 �Independent and I voted Republican, and I voted Democrat, and I think you should listen to the. You can’t agree with everything, but you should balance it out and see which is the closest. I don’t think we should have two parties myself, but this is why it’s a free country. In Ottawa County, if you’re a Democrat you better not run because you’re going to get voted out, but that’s why we fought, for the freedom of speech, the freedom to vote the way we want, the freedom to call the President or commander a so and so and not be afraid of somebody coming over the next day and locking you up for calling him a this and that. 58:32 We have a great country. A great country and I hope our youth of today—I really, really hope they realize how lucky we are—like out at Grand Valley, you have students our there that can become doctors, lawyers, school teacher, business people. They got that freedom and they got it because the kids over there in WWI and WWII, they fought and they died for the privilege of you being able to grow up to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher or something. I think a lot of them don’t realize, like on Leno the other day—he has a program on there where they interview people on the street and they asked this one guy, they said, ―Who did we fight in WWII?‖ 59:31 Here he was a college student, and he said, ―the French‖. I thought, ―Holy smokes, the French?‖ Then they said, ―Who was President in WWII?‖ He said, ―I don’t know‖, and they asked, ―When was WWI?‖ One girl said, ―1952‖. I think more of that should be taught in our schools. 60:00 Like I say, sign the national anthem, because I’m an American and I love my county, but I think there’s a lot of things that we have a lot of things that we can improve on. Interviewer: That’s often going to be the case. Well, it makes for a good story, so thanks for coming in. 24 �Thank you 25 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
