COMPANY "B", 179th INFANTRY, 45th DIVISION Company "B", 179th Infantry, was successor to Company "E", First Oklahoma In­ fantry, the history of which dates back to territorial days, and whose members saw service in the Spanish-American War, the Border Campaign and World War I- After World War I, Com­ pany "B" was organized as Company "B", Second Oklahoma Infantry, on October 12, 1921, and was redesignated Company "B", 179th Infantry, October 14, 1921, which designation it retained until it was deactivated after World War II. It is now reorganized as Company "B" 279th Infantry. During the period from October 12, 1921 to September 16, 1940, (the date Company "B" was mobilized for World War II) several hundred men had received training of varying lengths of time in Company "B", sonie for only a few months, but a great many for a period cf years and a few for the entire period. When Company "B" left Pawnee on September 26, 1940, it had a strength of 129 men and four officers. Many of these men later became officers in both the air and ground forces. Of the four officers (all Lieutenants Sept. 16, 1940) two became Lieutenant-Colonels, one a Major and one a Captain. Many of the men were cadred to new organizations which they helped train and lead into combat. During the course of the war, every theatre and all three services had men of Company "B" serving in them. The records of these men as individual soldiers, and the rec­ ord of Company "B" as an organization, are oustanding and in keeping with the highest tra­ ditions of the service. The deeds of these men are history, a history of honor, courage, gal­ lantry, heroism, and valor; a history of sacrifice and glory. Company "B" stormed the beaches of Sicily for its first fight under the command of a Pawnee officer, (then Captain, now Lt.-Col. Glenn Lyon). Capt. Lyon was still in command when Company "B" hit the beach of Salerno for its second campaign, but here he was wounded and the command of Company "B" was no longer invested in a Pawnee officer. But the men of Company "B" continued on later to hit the beach at Anzio, then southern France, then up the Rhone Valley, and east into the heart of Germany; miles and hundreds of miles of bitter fighting, miles and hundreds of miles of blood, sweat and sacrifice, miles and hundreds of miles of gallantry, heroism and valor; yes, miles and hundreds of miles of Death and Glory. The undersigned served nineteen years as a member of Company "B", both as an en­ listed man and" an officer, but was not privileged to fight with it. He did, however, see them in the field and fought by their side at Salerno. No mention has been made here of the other guard units from Pawnee, or the hundreds of other men from Pawnee and Pawnee County who served during the war, but the undersigned is not unaware of the splendid record of these units and men. I salute them, everyone. Those of us who fought, and those of you who gave up those dear to you: we can never say, "We have done our part." No, through our fighting and our loss we have bought a greater interest in this country of ours, and with greater interest comes a greater respon­ sibility. Every generation since the founding of our nation has had to preserve our nation and our way of life, and until such time we can guarantee our children that they will not have to fight, we must keep our sentinels on duty. We must all see to it that we are not lulled to sleep by peace. We must keep our military establishments at the required strength. The Na­ tional Guard and Organized Reserve need the support of everyone. Those of you who fought must give this support if you would keep faith with those comrades left on the battlefield. We must see to it that their sacrifice shall never be for naught. We must keep a soldier's faith. To those of you who gave up sons or husband or father: may God in His mysterious way bring peace to your broken hearts. TEDDY H. SANFORD, Lt.-Col. U. S. Army. ACKLEY, THOMAS RICHARD SSgt.

  • Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen Enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a Two-Year
    Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a two-year tour. Upon completion of basic training at Parris Island and infantry training regiment at Camp Geiger, Frederick joined Charlie Co. 13th Engineer Battalion, 5th Marine Division and then transferred to 1st Marine Division where he served as a combat engineer. Frederick began serving in Vietnam in 1969. His first detail was in An Hoa sweeping the road with a metal detector for mines and booby traps, every day for 30 days. As a demolition expert, his first attachment was with the 5th Marines. With the 5th Marines, Frederick was part of the operation in “Dodge City,” so called by troops because of its “shoot-em-up” characteristics. The area 10 miles south of Da Nang was familiar ground for the Marines. It was about five miles wide and three miles long. Frederick said “Dodge City” and “The Arizona Territory” were dreadful places during his tour in Vietnam, the former rife with booby traps and the latter rife with aggressive enemy forces. Frederick spent his last three months of deployment in Da Nang, where he taught demolition school. He instructed incoming Marines on identifying different booby traps, punji pits, and unexploded ordnances, and taught the proper use of C-4 explosives to help mitigate and eliminate the threat to our troops.
