One such January 26, 1945 I was celebrating my third birthday in Port Arthur, Texas with my mother and her family, as my Dad was away in the Merchant Marine during the war. Meanwhile, at 1400 hours on that same frozen day in the tiny village of Holtzwihr, France, six German Panther tanks, supported by 250 crack infantrymen from the German 2nd Mountain Division from Norway moved eighteen men led by teenage 1st Lt.

    PART III: Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico The “main focus” of our five-day trip, in the early spring of 1952, was extended time to visit two locations—Carlsbad Caverns National Park, in the southeastern part of the State of New Mexico, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico—across the International Border from El Paso, Texas, which lies in the far western tip of Texas. A beautiful morning awaited as we rose from our beds in the small motel in the town of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Out in the parking lot, in front of our room, the Hudson was covered with a thick layer of dust, accumulated during our long drive through Colorado and New Mexico. No rain in sight to help wash the car off, but my dad pulled into a Texaco Gas Station in town to refuel, and have the attendant check the oil and clean the windshields and side windows for us. (While living in Denver, Colorado, my dad often frequented a favorite Texaco Station on Colorado Blvd., not far from our first house on Birch Street.) In a friendly tone, and looking at our license plates, which read “Colorful Colorado,” the station attendant asked, “How far have you folks come? Headed for the Caverns I bet! Any time of year is a good time to go, ya’ know! Doesn’t matter what the temperature is on the outside today, cause deep in the Caverns the temperature is the same year round—56°.” Motel Stevens in Carlsbad, New Mexico. Curt Teich vintage linen postcard. Leaving Carlsbad and the Pecos River Valley behind, my dad pointed the Hudson southwest out of town on US Hwy.

Fifteen-hundred feet above a drop zone Ishrouded in fog, the wind buffeted Bob Hart’s helmet the instant before he plunged into the unknown at 4:35 a.m. “As soon as you got to the doorway all you saw was white. Most of us figured we were jumping over the Mediterranean. And for a split second all you could think was ‘I got 120 pounds of gear on me. What’s going to happen when I land?’ ” But now he was falling. “A thousand and one,” Hart said to himself as another paratrooper sprang from the doorway of the lumbering C-47. “A thousand and two. “A thousand and…” Hart’s body harness jerked taut reassuringly as the primary parachute billowed. Had he got past “three” he would have yanked the ripcord for the reserve chute bundled on his chest. The business about paratroopers yelling “Geronimo!” was mostly bravado that got old in a hurry after jump school. Paratroopers prepare for a practice jump from a C-47. Bob Hart collection 2 Bob Hart Descending in the eerie whiteness, the 20-year-old machine gunner from Tacoma fleetingly remembered how he and a buddy had signed up for the paratroopers 16 months earlier at Fort Lewis, reasoning they wouldn’t have to do much walking. Fat chance. After Hart landed hard in a farmer’s field in the foothills above the Côte d’Azur, he ended up tramping 50 miles through hostile countryside on an aching foot that turned out to be broken.
