The ship lifted with a sudden jerk as the anchor was dropped. Immediately we left for the tank deck where the amphibious ducks were assembled below, and one by one, we climbed down the nets to the ducks. The beach became a seen of chaos and confusion as we were rushing ashore. Bullets and mortar rounds splashed us with cold, salty sea water, just missing a direct hit many times.
Then the driver shifted in reverse, as the duck was coming in against the tide. The driver had to back up to make another try to ride with the incoming waves in order to gain the momentum required to climb the steep bank ahead.
Simultaneously a terrific explosion shattered the air. A shell had fallen in the exact spot the craft had been before it had been reversed. The duck nearly capsized while climbing the bank, but we made it ashore. The crew worked diligently to unload the Howitzer which came ashore with us on our duck.
The going was rough, the crew had to dig a gun pit, fortifying it with sand bags. Came the command, and with a resounding blast, the rocked on it's wheels.
By this time the sun was setting. I remember how hard my heart was pounding. Lying there in the darkness my thoughts wandered back to my family in Whitehall. I wondered if I'd ever see them again. But the peaceful moment was interrupted by a cry for help. Running towards the cry, I found four marines lying in blood drenched dungarees. Flashes of artillery fire illuminated the grotesque corpses of scores of dead marines.
The shell fire was becoming more severe, and one of the wounded, in a state of shock, was digging with his hands in an attempt to escape. These ghastly sights were almost unbearable. But the beach head was secure. The initial mission had been accomplished. Although I was so fortunate to come out alive, I feel a twinge of anxiety for those who sacrificed so much, but also, a sense of pride swelled within me for having had a chance to do a part to help keep a great nation free.
As a result of perforated ear drums from shellfire at Iow Jima I received a purple heart. I watched him every night and got to learn his "Rye Whiskey" pretty good.
