    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.
