Thinking of my father today, a WWII veteran who passed away in a Veteran's hospital on Veteran's day, 25 years ago today. He flew 30 missions as a gunner in B24 Liberators flying out of England. Trained as a clerk, but volunteered for combat as he felt others were sacrificing while he sat safely behind the lines. Wounded by flak in his second mission, one month in the hospital and then back out for 28 more missions, including flying on D-Day. A recipient of the Purple Heart, the Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters, and the Distinguished Flying Cross. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Like most veterans of that war he would never talk about combat, or his service. He bore the scars of war, and they affected him for his whole life. Post war he became a practical pacifist, got rid of his guns, never hunted again, and preached the idiocy of war as a tool. He was a man who believed in diplomacy as a solution whenever possible, and as a kid I saw him walk away from fights and conflict. I used to think that was fear, but I now know that was bravery. In his honor, and especially on Veteran's day, I want to share his example of a man who served bravely, bore the injury of war, and honored his fellow veterans by sharing a message that the military should be an instrument of peace and not a cudgel to be indiscriminately deployed in the furtherance of political gain. He is missed, and I want to thank all the veterans who have carried on in his tradition. |
