  • Oral History Transcript Captain John Harold
    ORAL HISTORY TRANSCRIPT CAPTAIN JOHN HAROLD CRAVEN Chaplain Corps, U. S. Navy (Retired) Corrmander H. Lawrence Martin Chaplain Corps, U. S. Navy Interviewer ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM Chaplain Corps United States Navy 1980 2 in Series FOREWORD Chaplain John H. Craven experienced a long and rich association with the Navy and the Marine Corps--forty years with the exception of the three years he spent in his basic theological training. Coming from a rural community in the Midwest and lacking funds for college, he entered the Marine Corps as a recruit in 1933. In 1935, with a sense of calling to the Christian ministry, he requested separation from the Marine Corps in order to further his education. During his college years, Chaplain Craven was affiliated with the Marine Corps Reserve; but since there was at that time no Theological Student Program, it was necessary for him to discontinue association with the military during his seminary years. When his training was completed, however, he returned to the military he loved so well, with the conviction that his call to preach the gospel was also a call to the military chaplaincy. Chaplain Craven was anxious for an assignment with the Marines, which came with his second tour. He was soon off to the Pacific theatre during World War II, in time for action at Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands and at Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" ii "for meritorious achievement as a Chaplain attached to the Fourth Marine Division, during action against enemy Japanese forces on Saipan, Marianas Islands, on June 16, 1944.

  • Issue 41 Jan 2016
    Issue 41 Jan 2016 A s we begin a New Year, I felt it was time to look back and say, thank you, to the 73 former big league players, managers and coaches who served during World War II and are still with us. In the region of 1,300 players with major league experience (either before, during or after the war) were in the military between 1941 and 1945. Some were in the prime of their career. Others were starting their journey through the bush leagues, while others would not begin that journey until the war ended. At the beginning of the 1940s, baseball was truly America’s pastime. Major league teams drew capacity crowds on a daily basis and nearly 5,000 minor league players were fine-tuning their skills with 287 teams com- peting in 43 leagues spread across the country. But as Japan began to fulfil its territorial ambitions in the Pacif- ic and German troops swarmed through Europe at an alarming rate, those halcyon days would soon be gone as the United States began preparing to defend itself in the face of inevitable war. More than 400 play- ers in the major leagues, together with 4,000 minor leaguers, gave up their jobs, swapped flannels for military uniforms and went to war. Of the 73 former big league players, managers and coaches who are still living, the youngest is Don Hasenmayer, who turned 88 last April, and the oldest is Mike Sandlock, who turned 100 last October. What I find hard to believe, however, is how little information there is available on these heroes of our game.

  • The American Legion [Volume 138, No. 6 (June 1995)]
    The parades may be over, but our appreciation marches on. As an American Legion member, you still have until June 30th to save $400 on a new 1995 Buick LeSabre, Regal or Century during Buick Qualidays. The brass bands may be silent now, but our Buick Qualidays celebration is still in full swing. Which means we're still showing our gratitude to American Legion members by offering you a $400 savings on one of our three top-selling Buicks. And to further show our appreciation, Buick will donate $100 to the American Legion baseball team of your choice when you make your purchase. It's the perfect time to save on Buicks that have always represented solid value. The Regal, America's premier mid-size automobile, features a newly redesigned interior. Twice, the LeSabre has been named Family Circle's "Family Car of the Year," and has been the best-selling full-size family LeSabre car in America (1993, 1994). And the Century's combination of comfort, safety and affordability makes it an outstanding example of Buick Quality. Stop into your Buick dealer before June 30, 1995 and choose from among the Regal largest selection of Buicks in ten years. Finalize your pricing, then present the certificate contained in last month's issue ^ ^ for a $400 savings, or see your dealer for more details. It's our way of expressing our gratitude after the parades are over. Century To locate your nearest Buick dealer, call 1-800-4A-BUICK Buick will donate $100 to the local American Legion baseball team of your choice for each new 1995 Buick LeSabre, Regal or Century purchased.
