  • I Enlisted on August 26, 1958. I Actually Went Down to the Recruiting
    I enlisted on August 26, 1958. I actually went down to the recruiting station to enlist in the Air Force because I wanted to work on aircraft, at least on their engines. However, the Air Force recruiter was at lunch and the Navy recruiter, BT1 Gene Willing, was holding down the office. So we sat and talked while we waited. He ended up convincing me that I could get a better deal from the Navy and signed me up. (Side note: Willing was later ticketed for DUI in Michigan while driving a Navy car with a woman not his wife and was sent back to the fleet.) I left for Chicago that afternoon for more testing and a physical exam. I passed the tests and the physical and was told that if I wanted to go the Great Lakes for Boot Camp there would be a two week wait before I could start training. I planned to go to Great Lakes so Mom and Dad could come visit me. I was also told that there was no waiting to start training if I agreed to go to San Diego. I didn't want to wait, so I said yes and was on a plane to San Diego at midnight that night. I didn't have a chance to let Mom and Dad know about the change until after I arrived in San Diego. They were surprised to receive a post card from me telling them I was in San Diego. So they didn't get to come to graduation. That was why Grandma Bea was so pleased when you, Tom, asked her to come to your graduation at Great Lakes.

  • Hawaiians in the Civil War March 2015
    Hawaiians in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This is a working document. The service of the soldiers and sailors listed here has been confirmed and corroborated by various sources. This may be the largest repository of API servicemen in existence, but it is not comprehensive. There are likely more who have been discovered by other researchers, and still others whose stories have yet to be recovered. Note on the term “Sandwich Islands:” In January 1778, sailing from Tahiti to North America while searching for the Northwest Passage, British vessels commanded by Capt. James Cook bumped into the Hawaiian Islands. Cook had his mapmakers label the place “Sandwich Islands” to honor Britain’s Earl of Sandwich, first lord of the admiralty. British maps spread the Sandwich Islands name widely in Europe and eventually America. Kamehameha I, who united the islands in 1795, rejected the British name. From the first written constitution in 1840, the name used was Hawaiian Islands. The same year, a government newspaper editorially proclaimed in an article entitled, “Hawaii versus Sandwich Islands,” that the citizens have ever used ‘Hawaii nei’ as applicable to the islands. Although the Hawaiian Islands government never overtly used “Sandwich,” it would respond to foreign governments’ use of it. Hawaiian citizens entering the United States, some of whom would fight in the US Civil War, traveled on Hawaiian Island, not Sandwich Island, passports. The Hawaiian names of each island were spelled irregularly by speakers of English, French, Spanish, or Russian

The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post’s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation, that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left behind on the homefront. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university’s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I was fascinated with each of them as individuals.
