The Pointer, April Through August 2013 HEADER PAGE 1 MEMORIES OF WAR Jack Harman, 87, with his medals in his home in the Thornridge section of Levittown in Falls. “There are some things that stay with you. I can’t forget them, even after all this time,” he said. “Almost 70, almost. For me, these memories are triggered, but I’m just never sure by what,” Harman said, sitting at the kitchen table of his home in the Thornridge section of Levittown. He is 87 (“Soon to be 88,” he told me), and is a retired Bris- tol Township police officer. In front of him are medals from the campaigns he was in as a member of the U.S. Navy in World War II. He’s one of 10 children who grew up in Bristol, the son of a railroad engineer. When his younger brother, Edward, enlisted in 1945, it was front page news in the Bristol Cou- rier. That’s because Edward was the sixth of the Harman children, including two sisters, to enlist in wartime service. Jack Harman enlisted in the Navy in 1943, two months be- fore he turned 18. Enlisting gave him the option to choose Jack Harman and memories of war his service. “Growing up in Bristol, I had been around water all my life; I liked boats, so I picked the Navy,” he said. Even after all these years, Jack Harman cannot ditch the war “I was assigned to an outfit called the Armed Guard. It’s memories. Convoy ships burning at sea. The frightened eyes of really an unknown branch of the Navy,” he said. “Two thou- a soldier headed to raging battle without a rifle. A childhood sand men were killed in this outfit in the war, and about 360 friend from Garden Street, gone now, what is it, 70 years? ships were sunk. We were the gunners on merchant ships A merchant vessel identical to those on which Jack Harman served as a gunner during World Continued on page 21 War II. If struck by enemy fire, orders were that the gunners were not to leave their posts until the “decks are awash.” Even the captain could leave before the gunners.

Perry White Fioretti [email protected] THE DOOLITTLE RAID: 'KEYS' TO SUCCESS HOW ENGINEER /GUNNER, SGT. E.J. SAYLOR GOT PLANE NO. 15 FLIGHT READY On April 18, the USAF Museum in Dayton will host the 70th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. The 5 remaining members of the 80 will be honored. Last December, the National WWII Museum in New Orleans also praised these airmen. They spoke of the mission and Roosevelt's plea to stem Japan's advance across the Pacific. The Doolittle raiders gave America its first glimmer of hope since Pearl Harbor. In New Orleans, it was riveting hear their first hand accounts. I talked with one of those Raiders, Sgt. Edward J. Saylor, and learned about his remarkable story of improvisation to keep his plane no. 15 airworthy. Ed's work would be a stroke of luck for pilot, Ted Lawson, and the crew of the iconic, plane no. 7, the Ruptured Duck. Lawson would later author the first personal account of the Raid in his book, THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO. LTC Edward J. Saylor would complete a distinguished 28 year military career in aircraft maintenance with a stellar record of never grounding a plane for lack of air worthiness. That record started on the deck of the HORNET with plane no. 15. The elder Ed Saylor, Sr., epitomized that adventuresome spirit of first generation immigrants to the new world.

Given South Dakota’s geography this service is also important for providing access to medical services, disaster relief and aerial forest fighting. Aviation in South Dakota includes the airline industry, education institutions, aviation organizations and Ellsworth Air Force Base and a Civil Air Patrol Wing. South Dakota’s 70 public-use airports serve 2,262 certified pilots and 1,350 registered general aviation aircraft. The official proclamation cites the importance of general aviation to businesses and communities in the state. In the photo Gov.
