Commanding Officer Makes Victory Statement Today brings victory in the greatest war in history to end 14

years of almost continuous fighting around the globe Its fleet destroyed its air power decimated its homeland laid

waste and threatened with extinction by American development and use of the atomic bomb Japan has surrendered unconditionally

A day of victory is a day to pay tribute to Allied Soldiers Sailors Marines Coast Guardsmen and Airmen who have brought to theii rnees Japanese war lords who chose to lead their people on the path of national disaster - almost national suicide

Victory brings defeat to Japan that middotheld dominion over 500000000 enslaved people at the height of its power in 1942 for the first time in l605 years of recorded or mythical history Such defeat has come just 39 months after the first United States victories in the Battle of the Coral Sea and at Midway

Victory however is not an occasion or time for bOasting The valor and deeds of American fighting men do not need elaboration It is appropriately a time to do reverent honor to the many who will not come home and to paiy special honor to the 400000 men who havE been casualties of the War in the Pacific

Even in the day of victory there is much to be done Especially the Navy will have much work to do adequately to enforce and mainshytain the newly gained peace around the world and to bring home to their families the millions of American men and women in battle fronts everywhere

It is not a time to pack up and go home The Navy will announce its demobilization plan as soon as possible keeping in mind its heav) continuing responsibilities

As for celebration during liberty time the Governor of Florida has asked cooperation in making V-J Day orderly dignified and lawshyabiding Navy men certainly will do no less As Commanding Offi middotpr that standard of conduct will be expected of all men at this Comshy

Chaplains I 1ctory Sermonette By Chaplain William J Walsh

Victory Day has come to the world The peace for which our people had hoped lived and prayed these past years is upon us

To men in the Service Victory Day has a special middotsignificance for it means the end of the fighting tne end of ti

middot labor and fatigue of long days the end of loneli ness and discouragemept of long nights spent fa1 from loved ones

Victory Day is a time of joy and happiness For some this sigh of relief from the hardships of war may be expressed in a manner that resembler more an animal than a reasoning being We hope however that everyone will find time to humbly offer to Almighty God a sincere prayer of thanksshygiving

At this great moment in the history of the world - and more especially in our lives let i1 not be said that we let it pass by without offerinr some prayer of thanks to God We sought His helr and consolation in times of distress let us not for-

of relief from the hardships of War may be expressed in a manner that resembles more an animal than a reasoning being We hope howshyever that everyone will find time to -humbly offer to Almighty God a sinceer prayer of thanksgiving At this great moment in the history of the world - and more

especially in our lives let it not be said that we let it pass by without offering some prayer of thanks to God We sought His help and conshysolation in times of distress let us not forget Him in time of Victory

Each one of us owes a debt of gratitude to those who have made the supreme sacrifice of their lifes blood that Victory Day 1-night be celebrated For these men whose graves in foreign lands will always be a memorial of Americas fight for peace and justice we pray God to grant them eternal rest and happiness

Nor should we on this Victory Day forget the loved ones at home the parents whose hearts are broken because the boys they kissed gooclby will never return the parents and sweethearts who have suffered willingly and courageously the hardships loneliness and sepashyration which war brings For them also should we offer our prayers

Finally each one of us should realize that America is facing even more tremendous problems-in the future We pray God that our leaders may be helped and guided by what is right and just and that they with Gods help may bring us a lasting Victory

htlion recently departing from duty here for an assignment at Yuma Ariz has moved to Blythe Cal to continue work on the same project with the Engineer Board Lt Col Jack C Baker Battalion CO advises Capt C Gulbranson Commanding Officer here

In retrospect Lt Col Baker says the 18th never expecis to be stationed amid more congenial surroundings nor treated with more consideration His leiier follows Dear Captain Gulbranson

Although we have moved only recently from Fort Pierce to Yuma Ariz the unit has just completed a second move from Yuma io Blythe California about 100 miles north During our stay near Yuma we were camped not far from Imperial Dam on the Coloshyrado River

The site was not suitable howshyever for the entire project and thus our move to Blythe which is also on the Colorado River but farther north on the California side We will be engaged in workshying with the Engineer Board near Blythe for several weeks

It was with real regret on the part of all personnel of this unit that we said good-bye to Fort Pierce It is the concensus of opinion that we will never be stationed amid more congenial surroundings nor treated with more consideration than during our tour at the Amphibious Training Base I wish to convey the thanks of the officers and men of the 18th Engineer Batshytalion to yourself and your staff for a most enjoyable tour of duty JACK C BAKER

The story - the grimmest ever told - began Dec 7 1941 while Jap envoys werP clo~eted with the Amegtrican Secretary of State in Washington At 7 55 AM Honolulu time (1 30 P M US Eastern Time) planes 1i mu I IH lnnd of the Risi11~ Sun swept over Pearl Harbor ltllOfiPlrl Pawarks and Ilickam Field in Hawaii blasting the US into a war in which the rest of the world was already embroiled

Driven from the Philippines after heroic resistance on Bataan and Corregidor the US Army - under Gen MacArthur - established headquarters of the Southwest Pacific Theater at Australia and started to gird for the long road back

middot Jt was a heartbreaking backbreaking fight Driven to a corner of the Pacific woefully short of men and supplies hemmed in on all sides by a powerful foe we could only peck at the enemy outposts defend ourselves from his fury

Our start was modest While aiming our right hand for a great blow at Germany in North Afiica we parried with our left at the Jap On J an 31 1)42 we staged a hit and run attack on the Jap-held islands in the Marshalls and Gilberts Other Jap bases were in their turn given attention by the US Navy And on April 18 Tokyo itself was raided by carrier-based aircraft under the command of Lieut-Gen (then Lieut-Col) Jimmy Doolittle the first of numberless raids which WPre dest in eel to lay in shambles the great cities of Japan

6 The Battle of Savo Island (Aug 8-9) and other Naval actions which resulted in heavy losses to the Jap fleet

By the beginning of 1943 the initial advantage which Japan had gained in the war from her surprise attack advance preparations and concentration of force had begun to level off The United Nations shyalthough still fighting with but one hand - now began to pour more men and materiel into the Pacific for a limited counteroffensive We were beating the Germans and holding the Jap

On Jan 10 1943 U S troops on Guadalcanal renewed their offonshysive and 13 days later that island first invaded by marines fell to our forces

In June the Allies opened an offensive in New Georgia and Boushygainville was invaded Oct 25 In November Marine and Army forces landed on Makin and Tarawa Other Jap-held bases in the Pacific were

The Chinese too were getting their wind back Swild1ing fro111 superb defensive tactics to their first great offensive of 1l1C war they freed Foochow of the enemy and pushed the invader back in Southshyeastern China Contributing to the successful Chinese drive were Alshylied service troops engineers airborne troops and infantry instructors 1s well as the fighters and bombers commanded by Maj-Gen Claire M Chennault and the airmen who flew the hump with supplies fo1middot Chinas armies

Jn 1944 and 45 the US had enough punch left over from its invashysion of France and Germany to rain its biggest blows - thus far shyon Japan The blows came from three directions - land sea and air

First came a sea victory in which the American Navy suppleshymented by Australian units crushed the Jap fleet opening the gates to the Philippines and almost eliminating Japan as a 3ea power Our ships including supply vessels became virtually free to roam the Western Pacific and our amphibious units were freed of the danger of attack by enemy surface craft

On land we took Saipan and Guam then moved into the tropical Philippines sulphurous Iwo Jima and volcanic Okinawa From the air our B-29s blaswd the Jap home islands reducing the home cities to flame rubble and dust Our fleet invaded the Jap home waters blastrcl the homeland with sea-going artillery unleashed planes to wreak fmshylhltr havoc

8tripped of her sea and air power the Jap answer to this steady assault was unrestricted use of the wierdest mostmacabre wEgtapon of the war - Kamakaze This suicide fleet of Jap planes dove with manishyacal fury at the decks of our ships in a desperate frenzied attempt to match the sting of a bee against the thundering power of a stampeding herd of elephants

The battle for Okinawa - most strategically important of the entire war - was marked by two major events Halfway through it President Roosevelt died Four weeks later Germany surrendered

After the unconditional surrender of Germany the US reallyshyturned on the juice in the Pacific Okinawa fell Our air and fleet attacks on Japans home islands were intensified and then - on Aug 5 - the most deadly weapon ever devised by man was brought into use to KO Japan The first atomic bomb fell on the Jap city of Hiroshyshima and - when the smoke had cleared away - most of that city was gone Only death and dust remained

Use of the atom bomb and Soviet Russias entrance into the war middot on the side of the Allies were the final blows that broke Japan The bomb was used again - against Nagasaki once more it left nothing in its wake but ruin The Red Army then plunged across the Siberian border into Jap-held Manchuria

Victory Day has come to the world The peace for which our people had hoped lived and prayed these past years is upon us

To men in the Service Victory Day has a special middotsignificance for it means the end of the fighting tne end of ti

middot labor and fatigue of long days the end of loneli ness and discouragemept of long nights spent fa1 from loved ones

Victory Day is a time of joy and happiness For some this sigh of relief from the hardships of war may be expressed in a manner that resembler more an animal than a reasoning being We hope however that everyone will find time to humbly offer to Almighty God a sincere prayer of thanksshygiving

At this great moment in the history of the world - and more especially in our lives let i1 not be said that we let it pass by without offerinr some prayer of thanks to God We sought His helr and consolation in times of distress let us not for-

of relief from the hardships of War may be expressed in a manner that resembles more an animal than a reasoning being We hope howshyever that everyone will find time to -humbly offer to Almighty God a sinceer prayer of thanksgiving At this great moment in the history of the world - and more

especially in our lives let it not be said that we let it pass by without offering some prayer of thanks to God We sought His help and conshysolation in times of distress let us not forget Him in time of Victory

Each one of us owes a debt of gratitude to those who have made the supreme sacrifice of their lifes blood that Victory Day 1-night be celebrated For these men whose graves in foreign lands will always be a memorial of Americas fight for peace and justice we pray God to grant them eternal rest and happiness

Nor should we on this Victory Day forget the loved ones at home the parents whose hearts are broken because the boys they kissed gooclby will never return the parents and sweethearts who have suffered willingly and courageously the hardships loneliness and sepashyration which war brings For them also should we offer our prayers

Finally each one of us should realize that America is facing even more tremendous problems-in the future We pray God that our leaders may be helped and guided by what is right and just and that they with Gods help may bring us a lasting Victory
