WWII veterans tellwar stories on trip to Washington D.C.By Elaine Paniszczyn

Honor Flight of Fort Worth started 15 months ago, and in Oc-tober they took their fourth and fifth flights of World War II vet-erans to Washington D.C. to see the WWII Memorial built in their honor.

“(We) anticipate the men will make memories that they never thought they would make, make new friends, and enhance relation-ships,” said LoyceEngler-Houston, one of the organizers of the trip. “(It’s) a day of reward.”

Veteran Joe McClure spoke be-fore the group boarded the plane.

“It’s very gratifying to make a trip like this,” McClure said. “Ev-erybody has a different story, an ex-citing story.”

In the South PAcIFIc: BoB Boehm

Bob Boehm said he grew up in St. Louis in an aviation family.

“It was natural for me to enlist in the aviation cadet program when I was in high school,” Boehm said.“It was April of ’43 that I went into the service as an aviation cadet. I finished basic training at Wichita Falls, TX. It was the First time I ever saw Texas.”

Black-tie gala honors veterans of Iraq and 100th anniversary of Marine AviationBy Elaine Paniszczyn

On the tarmac outside American Air-lines’ Hanger 5, a band played as Sky Ball X participants strolled through a static display of airplanes and helicopters; men dressed in party attire dropped into the crowd via parachutes; and another screamed into the center of the crowd, propelled by a jet pack, and that was all before the party started. The Airpower Foundation hosted the black-tie gala Oct 27.

This year’s celebration honored those who have served in Iraq and saluted the Marines on the 100th anniversary of Ma-rine Aviation. Proceeds from Sky Ball X will enable the Airpower Foundation to provide increased support for military families in North Texas and across the United States.

“Over the past decade, Sky Ball has made a difference in the lives of countless service members and their families,” said Tom Hor-ton, American’s Chairman and CEO. “It’s an honor for American to host this annual event, which allows us a special way to honor the sacrifices made by those who serve our country.

Peter was kept in prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church

of God. Acts 12:5 (NASV). Psalm 63:1-2 Fervent is one of

those great old-fashioned Bible words that have fallen into disuse. James 5:16 says: “The effective,

fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Paul wrote to the Co-lossians that Epa-phras was “always laboring fervently for you in prayers” (4:12). The Eng-lish word fervent comes from a term meaning to

boil, and it implies intensity of feel-ing. Is that the way we pray?

Another nearly forgotten prayer adjective is prevailing, which was a favorite term of an earlier genera-tion. Charles Finney wrote, “In pre-

vailing prayer, a child of God comes before Him with real faith in His promises and asks for things agree-able to His will, assured of being heard according to the true intent of the promises; and thus coming to God, he prevails with Him.”

Matthew Henry, the old com-mentator, wrote, “It is the prayer of faith that is prevailing prayer . . . . It is believing prayer that is prevailing prayer.”

In order to grow strong, we have to exercise our prayer muscles. Learn to pray fervently. Learn the secrets of prevailing prayer. “Pre-vailing prayer is the pathway to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.”

(Dr. David Jeremiah)“Prevailing prayer is the pathway

to the outpouring of the Holy Spir-it.” Be blessed and take care and have a great week. “I will see you in the terminals!”

Fervent and prevailing prayer

Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) In-ternational Airport reopened its Terminal E Satellite building with departures from Spirit Airlines, marking the first passenger ser-vice at the facility since 2005. The Terminal E Satellite underwent a modernization as part of DFW’s $1.9 billion Terminal Renewal and Improvement Program (TRIP) and will house domestic airlines as renovation work gets underway on the main sections of Terminal E. The Terminal E Satellite reopened with seven usable gates and will ul-timately have nine gates.

“The reopening of the Termi-nal E Satellite is a clear sign of the great progress we are making on our plans to re-invigorate our original terminals,” said Jeff Fegan, CEO of DFW International Airport. “With this facility, we can continue to serve our partner airlines and our passengers with a high quality en-vironment and with a minimum of disruptions while we revitalize the remainder of Terminal E under the TRIP program.”

Spirit Airlines has temporarily moved its departures to the satellite starting Oct. 24, and Spirit passen-gers were advised to allow an extra

five minutes to arrive at their gate. Next May, US Airways will join Spirit in the satellite as renovation work begins on the southernmost section of Terminal E.

Denise Veal, who flew in from Atlanta and was waiting for her flight back said she did not have any trouble finding the Terminal E Satellite.

“I just followed the signs; it was pretty clear,” Veal said.

Another passenger agreed. Gary Carlisle from Saginaw said he has flown out of DFW a lot. He said coming over to the satellite was not a problem.

“You realize it because you actu-ally go underground, up the esca-lators, down the escalators, but it’s basically just as easy,” Carlisle said. “No big deal. There’s a little less ac-tivity here than in the main termi-nal, so it’s nice.”

The Terminal E Satellite, which houses Gates E22 through E30, can be accessed at Gate E-21 via an underground tunnel that includes moving walkways. The satellite ter-minal will feature several conces-sions outlets, including Starbucks, Dickey’s Barbecue and Freshëns, with several other concessions out-

lets still to come.“This satellite facility is a great

asset for the Airport to have as we work to improve the airport’s origi-nal terminals under TRIP,” said Perfecto Solis, DFW’s vice presi-dent for airport development and engineering.

“The nine gates give us plenty of space to continue our normal opera-

tions during construction, and when we are finished with construction, we will have added capacity to make room for airline growth.”

The Terminal E Satellite is ca-pable of housing regional jets as well as mainline passenger jets, and it has one gate capable of handling a wide-body aircraft.

The Terminal E Satellite facility

originally opened in 1988 at a time when DFW needed additional gate capacity.

The satellite facility closed in 2005, and Airport staff took great care to decommission the building. The renovation project leading to today’s re-opening took less than one year to complete.

n Auto theft reported, October 15 A representative of Hertz Cor-

poration presented information in reference to a subject who rented avehicle on Aug. 20 at 5:30 p.m. The vehicle should have been re-turned on Aug. 21 but has not been returned as of this date, and Hertz wants to prosecute. Certified de-mand letters have been sent to the renter demanding the return of said vehicle. Hertz Corporation is be-ing deprived of their property and rental fees. The vehicle is valued at $14,574.75.n Public IntoxicationOctober 14, 8:14 p.m.

Officers responded to Termi-nal C, Gate C-17, in reference to a passenger in distress. Officers made contact with another passenger at the same gate counter acting like she was under the influence of alcohol and/or other intoxicants. The female caught the attention of officers be-cause, although she was supported by the sturdy gate counter, she was still noticeably swaying. She was talking very loudly and her slurred words carried over the din of the very busy, noisy, passenger lounge area.

When asked if she needed assis-tance, she appeared visibly flustered, motioning wildly with her hands while talking very loudly to the Gate Agent. The female had a very strong odor of alcoholic beverages emitting from her breath and/or her person. She talked in a circle and would not answer any direct questions. She was asked to sit down in the lounge area and quietly await the next flight de-parting two hours later. She would have none of that. She demanded officers get her on the flight that was boarding. Officers told her one last time tosit down and quietly await her later plane. She did not. Both officers told her to sit down imme-diately, and stop interrupting their

conversation. She became even more verbally combative, so officers placed her in handcuffs andescorted her out of the terminal.n Public IntoxicationOctober 14, 6:17 p.m.

Officers responded to Terminal A, Gate-34 in reference to an in-toxicated female. Upon arrival they observed a female wearing blue jeans and a strapless t-shirt talk-ing to herself. When officers asked if they could assist her, the female responded with veryslurred speech, “Get me on my flight now.” Her eyes were bloodshot and she smelled of alcohol. When asked if she had been drinking and she responded, “Yes, too much.”

She said she was traveling alone and had no one in the immediate area. The airline advised officers that they had rebooked her for a 7:30 a.m. flight for the next day. Due to the woman’s state of intoxication, officers felt she would be a danger to herself or others if left alone, so they arrested her.

She became verbally abusive and unsuccessfully tried to wrench free of officers. They put her in a wheel-

chair to wait for transport, and dur-ing the wait, she became upset and began yelling profanities stating, “I don’t give a ----; you’re going to die -----; Satan iscoming for your soul.” Officers attempted to move her away from a crowd of people as children were nearby. She continued to curse and scream, “ I don’t give a ---- about kids. You are a mean -----. You are going to hell,-----.” Then, she tried to kick one of the officers but missed because of the wheel chair footrest. Several times she at-tempted to get out of the wheelchair but was unsuccessful because she was buckled in. n Assault, October 14, 3 a.m.

An officer was dispatched to Hanger#3 in reference to an assault report.The reporting party stated he was in the break room at Terminal C, Gate 7, on the ramp when he ap-proached another to talk with him about his work performance. Both are fellow coworkers. The one who reported the incident is a mechanic and the other is a crew chief. The reporting party found the other asleep in a chair in the breakroom. He kicked the leg of the chair in an

attempt to wake his co-worker up from sleeping.

The co-worker jumped out of the chair and began to shove him with both hands while cussing at him. The reporting party wasoffended by this contact and attempted to avoid the altercation by leaving the imme-diate area but he co-worker followed him. He confronted the reporting party in the hallway outside the breakroom in front of supervisors. At this point, the co-worker got close to the reporting party’s face threatening bodily harm to him and told him they could settle this out-

side the airport. The reporting party left the area

in fear that further violence may oc-cur if he stayed, and he called DFW Police for assistance. Officers spoke with the co-worker’s supervisor, who said they sent him home because of his conduct at work. The supervisor said he only observed the verbal al-tercation in the hallway.The report-ing party does wish to prosecute for the charge of assault.n Criminal MischiefOctober 18, at 6:19 a.m.

that support up to the big event on Saturday night.

“Having it here at the C.R. Smith Museum is especially fitting because C.R. Smith’s legacy is well known in terms of his support of the military,” Palmersheim said. “So I think it’s a great tie-in with C.R.’s legacy and American Airlines’ leg-acy of supporting those who serve. We are also partnering with Texas Veterans Commission out of Aus-tin in terms of helping get the word out not only on employment op-portunities, but also in benefits that veterans may be entitled.

“MOST is a unique, technical program that offers vocational skill training for veterans to move into jobs such as welding, electrical and plumbing, which are fairly high paying jobs with good benefits,” Palmersheim said. “We’re bringing the full gamut of resources in terms of vocational, educational, employ-ment and also resources to kind of

criminal mischief incident to a Pag-ing/Courtesy phone in Terminal C, sterile/secure side near Gate C-24. Upon arrival, they made contact with the three reporting parties. All three explained they witnessed a male about 60 years old pick up the Courtesy phone receiver in the gate area of C-24. The witnesses said the male begin slamming the phone receiver up against the wall and up against the base of the phone itself causing the receiver to crack in-half after which the male dropped the receiver and he and an older white female left the area walking in the direction of the lower gates. At Ter-minal C, Gate C-7, an agent said she allowed the male in question to board a flight was still sitting at the gate.

One officer and one of the wit-nesses boarded the flight and the witness pointed out a male match-ing the description of the person who broke the phone receiver sitting next to an older white female. The male was escorted off the plane and back into the Terminal. Once inside the Terminal he said the older lady he is traveling with, and who asked to get off the flight, is his mother. He seemed to be upset and also ad-vised he was not happy with airline because of their mistreatment of him and his mother as they traveled. After being advised of his Miranda Warnings, the man stated he was willing to speak to officers without an attorney. He admitted did he bang the receiver of the courtesy phone against the wall causing the receiver to crack and break.

The man said “yes, I was p----- off at ------- airline.” The terminal manager estimated $100 to repair the phone. Since the suspect was traveling with an much older com-panion who was taking several types

of medications for a broken back, it was determined that he would be al-lowed to continue on with his travel plans and was advised a DFW De-tective would be in contact with him about this offense and possible fines for the damages. n Theft, October 18, at 10:37 a.m.

An officer responded to SEKO in reference to a theft. The report-ing person is employed by SEKO Logistics as a Managing Director-Domestics. She stated that an em-ployee stole TV sets from inside the warehouse. SEKO ships TV Sets for Sam’s Club. The shipments arrive from the Sam’s warehouse in Tem-ple TX; then they are shipped from the SEKO facility to the individual Sam’s Clubs.

She said on Oct. 11, an inventory of TV sets should have been 100 sets. The total count was 92. The Di-rector of Domestic Operations re-viewed interior surveillance video to see if a suspect could be identified. She observed an employee move a pallet of TV’s into a trailer that was not supposed to be used on Oct. 10 at 9:23 p.m. He closed the door to the trailer, and it is believed that he returned to the trailer after he got off work at 11 p.m. and removed the TV sets. The officer observed the in-terior surveillance footage for Oct. 20 observing the suspect load up a pallet containing eight Phillips 40” LED TV Sets. He moved the pallet to one area, waited until other em-ployees couldn’t see him, and loaded them into a SEKO semi-trailer. He quickly closed the warehouse roll down door and locked it with a pad-lock. His supervisors said there was no reason for the TV sets to be load-ed into trailers on the North side of the building. She said the dock doors don’t have rubber stoppers; therefore the suspect could have easily removed the TV sets from be-

tween the trailer and dock door. The outside surveillance cameras were blocked from taping door #3. In addition, the businesses at 1830 W. Airfield Dr., did not have surveil-lance cameras pointed at that area.

A supervisor spoke with the sus-pect Oct. 17 concerning the stolen TV sets. The supervisor said the suspect said he took the TV sets be-cause he was having financial prob-lems. He said he couldn’t get the TV’s back, but he would not tell her where they went. The suspect was fired and escorted out of the build-ing. The TV sets have an approxi-mate value of $4296.n Fraudulent use of Handicap Plac-ard, October 22, 12:50 p.m.

An officer on routine park-ing lot patrol noticed a suspicious Texas disabled parking placard hanging inthe windshield of a car parked in a clearly marked handicap space. The officer looked through the vehicle’swindshield to closely inspect the placard. He noticed the hole-punched expiration date (October/2012)did not match the

hand written expiration date (Octo-ber/2016). It was obvious the user of the placard used white out to cover the original hand written expira-tion date of 2012 in an attempt to illegally change it to 2016. A check of the vehicle’s license plate identi-fied the owner. The officer noticed a woman come out of the North Re-mote building and enter the vehicle.

At this point, the officer initiated a traffic stop and advised the woman that she had been stopped because of the altered placard hanging from her rear view mirror while her ve-hicle was parked in the lot. She said the placard was her father’s and that she had hung it in her vehicle when she parked in the lot. She admitted she was not transporting her father or picking him up from the airport. She said she did not alter the plac-ard, but her daughter may have al-tered it.

The officer gave her a citation for knowingly parking a vehicle display-ing an altered placard in a parking space designated specifically for per-sons withdisabilities.

have an opportunity to really give these veterans a one stop shopping, so that everyone who leaves here today will come away with some-thing that will benefit them.”

Attending were retired veter-ans, veterans that know they will be leaving active duty and others look-ing to move ahead in their current profession or to another opportu-nity.

Josh Rushing, active in the 136 Security Forces (military police) in the Texas Air National Guard, was interested in security opportunities.

“I’m just here seeing what they have to offer at the career fair,” Rushing said. “I’m a traditional guardsman, which means I drill one weekend out of the month, and I have two weeks of training a year. I do police, law enforcement, and security functions. I have a back-ground in law enforcement and communications.”

Rushing talked to DFW Inter-national Airport about being a po-lice officer or dispatcher for them.

Salvador Marquez served in the Marine Corps 1983 – 1987 in Camp Pendleton in California and Okinawa, Japan.

“I’m looking for gainful employ-ment that would hopefully be ap-plicable to what I’ve done in the past,” Marquez said. “I was a stinger gunner, which is of no use to me now.”

“We’re trying to provide the whole gamut, whether it is a great portfolio of job opportunities, to education, to services,” said former Marine JimCrites, Executive Vice President for Operations at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. “We’re trying to tailor this to the veterans’ needs. The notion is that no matter what your need is we’re trying to get all service providers here: medical, jobs, funding mort-gages, and veteran’s benefits that

they may not know how to access.“As we take a young man or

woman from the civilian sector, we bring them through,” Crites said. “We start them with recruit train-ing, orient them to self-esteem, get them their specialized training, get them into an organization with a structure, and teach them that they can be productive. We’re not doing that on the way out.

“The civilian sector is much less structured, much less organized, and so what we’re trying to do is to provide that same kind of informa-tion, the same intelligence for them out there in a way that they have learned to understand, accept and take advantage of, so that now they know how to properly get engaged back into civilian life. It’s just as much about educating the civilian sector, because they are not orien-tated to this at all, so we’re doing as much education of employers and service providers as we are of veter-ans. I think the real education is on the civilian side so they learn how to productively engage those com-ing back from active duty.

“(These veterans) are wonderful assets that we need to take advan-tage of.”

Firearms – 42 firearms were discovered this week in carry-on bags at TSA check-points. 38 of the 42 were loaded and 12 fire-arms actually had a round in the chamber.

Throwing Star – A throwing star was dis-covered via a pat down when an Atlantic City (ACY) passenger going through a body scan-ner alarmed.

TSA Officer Stuck With Syringe – An officer at Tucson (TUS) was stuck by a syringe while searching a bag. For the safety of TSA Offi-cers, please be sure to be mindful of any sharp or dangerous items in your bags.

Inert Grenades Etc. – Replica grenades were discovered in two separate golf bags at Charleston (CHS). Two replica grenades were discovered at Richmond (RIC).

High Explosives? Pun intended. You see, not only was a novelty grenade discovered at Denver (DEN), it was a novelty grenade with a green leafy substance contained within. Of-

ficers are not looking for drugs, but the odds are in the officers’ favor of finding them if they’re stuffed in a grenade.

What Not to Say at an Airport – After his request to have his checked bags removed from the aircraft was denied, a passenger be-came upset and stated that “the airline did not know if he had a bomb in his bag.”

A passenger at Las Vegas (LAS) became upset while his son’s bag was being searched and stated: “There is a bomb in there.”

A Federal Air Marshal overheard a pas-senger at Washington Reagan (DCA) telling another passenger to watch his bag because it had a bomb in it.

A passenger overheard another passenger at Denver (DEN) state: “I hope you are not on the plane leaving at Gate A-37, it’s going to go off with a blast.”

Stun Guns – Nine stun guns were found in carry-ons at checkpoints around the nation.

Last year, Sky Ball XI raised more than $1 million to support the Airpower Foun-dation and the organizations they support and Sky Ball X hoped to surpass that goal. With contributions from Sky Ball, the Airpower Foundation is able to provide assistance including financial aid for de-ployed families; welcome-home receptions; support for national programs that help those wounded in battle transition to civil-ian life; various scholarship programs for dependents of military personnel; and sup-port for Snowball Express, which strives to provide new, happy memories for spouses and children of fallen soldiers.

“DFW Airport is pleased to serve as a partner for Sky Ball X and we’re proud to take an active role in this important mis-

sion to serve our military families,” said Jeff Fegan, DFW Airport’s Chief Executive Officer. “DFW has been honored to serve our nation’s military over the years with our USO facilities and with the ‘Welcome Home a Hero’ program, and the Sky Ball events give our community even more op-portunity to express our thanks to the fam-ilies who sacrifice so much for our country.”

Special guests at Sky Ball X included Medal of Honor recipients, wounded warriors, actor Greg Kinnear (We Were Soldiers), and the official mascot of the weekend, Lucca, a recently retired military working dog who sustained injuries while serving in Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of her left front leg.

Entertainment included musical per-formances by Broadway sensation Lauri Gayle Stevenson; “America’s Tenor,” Steve Amerson; and the Turtle Creek Chorale. The evening concluded with a concert by Academy Award-nominated actor and musician Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) requested two commercial aircraft to assist in a search and rescue operation.

AMSA detected an emergency beacon activation at 8:15 a.m. on Oct. 16. The beacon’s location was 270 nm east of Sydney.

Through Airservices in Brisbane, AMSA requested an Air Canada Boeing 777 en route to Sydney from Vancouver to divert to the area of the beacon to assess the situ-ation. The plane’s captain reported a yacht was at this location.

AMSA’s Essendon-based Dorn-ier was tasked to attend the scene, while an Air New Zealand A320 en route to Sydney from Auckland was also requested to divert to the area to provide confirmation of the yacht’s position and gain more information.

The dedicated search and rescue aircraft, AMSA’s Dornier, arrived at 12 p.m. and was able to establish communications with the person on board the yacht who reported to have been demasted and was run-ning low on fuel.

It is believed the solo yachtsman left Pittwater, Sydney two weeks ago heading for Eden in New South Wales, but had been drifting away from land since last week.

AMSA thanks the captains and crews of the Air Canada and Air New Zealand aircraft for their as-sistance and their passengers for their patience.Source: Australian Maritime Safety Authority

Then he was sent to Eastern Or-egon College for navigation train-ing. After that, he said he went to Santa Ana and was in a squadron of P38 flyers.

“You never know what you’re go-ing to get in the Army; I thought I was going to be a P38 pilot, but the time came when they were looking for something else,” Boehm said. “I had a pretty good aptitude in radio, and I could fly a plane, and that’s what they were looking for.

“I went into detached service; that’s a word you don’t hear much in the service, but it means your group has given you to someone else, either temporarily or whatever time is nec-essary. I went on detached service to the Philco Corporation. They were looking for a pilot and someone that could calibrate and upgrade their instrument radar equipment. It was brand new, and it was being intro-duced in the Pacific Theater.

“My first trip was the Island of Peleliu, a little coral reef a couple of miles wide and maybe six or seven miles long: my first look at war,” Boehm said. “I didn’t like what I saw, because it was just a few months after it was taken. We were setting up new navigation equip-ment at their air strip. I was 19 years old, and it was kind of shocking.

“I went from there to Mind-anao, part of the Philippine Island group and then to Saipan,” Boehm said. “Saipan really was the turn-ing point of the Pacific War. It en-abled the United States to routinely bomb Japan with B29’s. I was there several months when the Okinawa Campaign started, and I was sent to Okinawa in July of ’44, and it was secured in mid-July, and I was there within a matter of a few days.

“So, I’ll say this: My hero is Harry Truman because he chose to drop the atom bomb,” Boehm said. “It was controversial. I didn’t know at the time, but I found out shortly afterwards, that we were scheduled to invade Japan Nov. 2. It would have been tough.

“That was it; nothing spectacu-lar.” Boehm said about his story.

“Honor Flight is a fabulous group; I hope others are as fortu-nate as we are,” Boehm said look-ing around at the other veterans. He said that he and his wife live in

a home for seniors and that three of his friends there have gone on Honor Flights. “They talked about how fantastic it is, and I can see that. One of them that spends a lot of time fundraising, and I would like to help.

“I think when people know what it means to these 27 and the others, and I don’t know how many are on the (waiting) list, but I know this: If you don’t raise the money, they don’t go. Money-raising is an every day effort. I’d like to see (Honor Flight) get some big corporations in the Dallas area.”

Boehm is part of a group of five veterans that go to public schools and talk about their experiences with their program called “World

War II Up Close.” Boehm recommended reading

Unbroken, a novel about Louis Zamperini, whose plane went down in the Pacific, where he spent 42 days on a raft before being captured by the Japanese.

“It’s a good story, and it’s going to be a movie; it’s being filmed right now,” Boehm said.

BIlly SmIthUS Navy, Third Class Petty of-

ficer Billy Smith said he had a sec-tion of men aboard ship that were under his command.

“We’d stand watches and do work details on a LST, a landing ship craft,” Smith said. “We hauled tanks, Army personnel, drugs, cars.”

He said his ship did not have a name.

“The earlier ships they just num-bered,” Smith said. “They were making them so rapidly, they didn’t bother to give them a name. Later on, they were named after counties.

“I was in the Southwest Pacific, New Guinea on north through the Philippines. We liberated the Phil-ippine Islands in World War II. We had six D-day invasions on the Philippine Islands and Borneo.”

Smith said they would haul supplies and army personnel to the beach where they would go on shore to fight the enemy.

“On the Island of Mendora, we carried the 24th aviation machin-ist group for the D-Day invasion, and we went back later and carried them to Mindanao.”

He said the invasions looked just the way they do on TV and in mov-ies with soldiers running onto shore

“We had LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle & Personnel),” Smith

said.“They would load the soldiers into the boat, and they would go to the beach and lower the forward ramp and the soldiers would run off onto the beach, and the LCVP would go back to the ship. We didn’t have any losses; we got them all back.”

“The worst times we had were the kamikaze planes, the suicide Japanese planes that would dive onto the ships,” Smith said. “But my ship got hit by a 500 pound bomb dropped on its deck in the Lei New Guinea invasion, and it killed about 28 Navy personnel and some Australian Army personnel. They towed that ship to Brisbane, Australia, and repaired it, and when it came back up after repairs, I went aboard it and spent the rest of my time on it.”

Smith said it was a good ship to take a hit like that and not sink. During the year it took to repair it, he was aboard 474 and made one invasion on the Island of Lady in the Philippines.

“After the war, we hauled Japa-nese prisoners from one island to another big camp on another is-land,” Smith said. He said the pris-oners were well behaved but that they smelled. “Boy they stunk. They didn’t have provisions for cleanli-ness in the (prison) camps that they were in.” After that, he said the prisoners were returned to Japan.

lookout for World War II veterans who have not seen the WWII me-morial. Henry Smith said he saw an article about Honor Flight in the newspaper.

“We saw this guy had on an old Army uniform,” Smith said.

He read the article and got in touch with Honor Flight Fort Worth. He served in the Atlantic and the Pacific.

“My first ship was a 1918 class destroyer named the Goff,” Smith said. “Later, I was commissioned on a new destroyer, but I had an acci-dent in town and was in the hos-pital, and the ship left without me. I walked off a subway platform. It didn’t really hurt me; I got a couple of bruises, but they insisted I go to

the hospital.” He said it wasn’t so bad, because

it happened in his home town.“My folks could come see me,”

Smith said. “I was in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

“After that, I was on a transport, the USS Griggs APA 110. We were at the Battle of Okinawa, and we were putting Marines ashore. My GQ station was a 21mm machine gun. I was shooting at Japanese planes as they were diving at us.”

He said he was glad he did not have to go ashore. Most days, when they were not in battle, he said he was below deck working as a tailor, sewing things up, but if they were attacked, he had to go up top and man a machine gun.

“The tailor was a side job,” he said. “I was really in the first divi-sion and I worked on the deck. A ship right behind us was hit by a (Kamikaze) plane.”

After the war, he worked 40 years in the garment industry.

“I worked for Victor Costa; they made wedding dresses and high fashion dresses,” Smith said.“I put the patterns out and made the markers, and then I put the fabric down and cut it.”

“Like all these guys, we’re just the lucky ones that got back,” Smith said.

Nippon Cargo Airlines announces freighter service from DFW Airport to Tokyo

Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) announced it will launch new freighter flights connecting Tokyo’s Narita International Airport and DFW International Airport, starting Nov. 5. Nippon Cargo’s twice weekly flights will be the first direct freighter connections for the Dal-las/Fort Worth area into Japan, and will bolster DFW cargo lift capac-ity to Asia while also providing a new connection to a strategically important destination.

Nippon Cargo Airlines will operate the route from Narita to Chi-cago O’Hare, then to DFW Airport, Anchorage, AK and then back to Narita. Nippon Cargo Airlines will fly 747-400 aircraft on the route, and the carrier ultimately plans to phase-in 747-8’s, the most fuel-efficient planes in the industry.

The expansion of cargo service is often a leading indicator of eco-nomic growth. Japan is already a fast-growing economy, and connect-ing with Dallas/Fort Worth, the fastest growing region in United States, sets the stage for more growth in both regions.

FUn anD gaMESBeautiful movie is a complex undertaking

Cloud Atlas hits theaters this weekend with a well-stocked cast, and imagery that screams artistic interpretation. Tom Hanks leads the force along with Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Hugh Grant, Susan Saran-

don, and more.This is not a film for

your typical outing. It is nearly three hours long (172 min) with a back and forth convoluted story line full of numer-ous characters. Most actors play up to six in-dividual characters. This alone is enough to make it a cerebral undertaking. The concept is beautiful, and you can tell from the trailer that the imagery is

unmatched this year. The question becomes whether or not the payoff in the end is really worth the journey. Many will say they love it just to seem smart. Other will genuinely connect with it and praise its glory.

Synopsis: An exploration of how indi-vidual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kind-ness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution. Rated R for violence, language, sexuality/nudity and drug use.

Another adult film releasing this week-end is far grittier and certainly not as pretty to look at. When do you root for the bad guy in a film? When everyone else is worse. That is sort of what you deal with in the new R rated crime thriller, Pusher.

Frank (Richard Coyle) is a street smart drug dealer in London. Things fall apart when a drug deal goes bad, and Frank ends up owing the wrong people a lot of money. The movie follows one week in his life when everything spirals out of control What he goes through from Monday to Sunday will keep your nerves on edge and your teeth clenched in anxious anticipation.

Pusher is rated R for pervasive drug content and language, some strong sexual-ity, nudity and violence. I give it 4 out of 5 Google calendars.

Finally the only thing close to a family film is the PG-13 adventure Fun Size. Sort of this generations Adventures in Babysit-ting. Stars tween sensation Victoria Jus-tice and is about a girl who loses her little brother while out trick-or-treating. While it looks kid friendly it is better suited for those 13 and up.
