00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:04.940
Where were the 43rd wing Victory Division located somewhere on luzon

00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:11.506
island and at our microphone now at
CFB robert legate of Eloy Arizona

00:00:11.539 --> 00:00:14.906
bob's going to come in here and talk
to you folks back home? Any lawyer

00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:18.657
bob? Just who is back there now? My
wife and two daughters and fathers

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:23.006
brothers like to tell, have you tell
them what your job is out here? Well

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.686
, right from on the front line. That's
the easy way to describe it. Even

00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.686
though it's a mighty hard job. And you
wear that combat infantryman back.

00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.366
Could you tell us a little about some
of the action you may have seen up

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.497
there or whether you accounted for any
jazz? Well, I counted for wanted. I

00:00:38.530 --> 00:00:43.406
know. Uh well, that's one to chalk up.
And you probably have a lot more to

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.567
your credit before. It's over
instantly. If you met anyone over here than

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.557
back? Met my brother. There goes one
of those big trucks going by here,

00:00:53.590 --> 00:00:57.487
One of those 2.5 ton, we see plenty of
them rolling along here. You met

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.307
your brother out of you, say, Where
did you meet a south of Manila went on

00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:06.857
the scene. And what's he doing? He's
the sergeant in a mortar six. How did

00:01:06.890 --> 00:01:10.406
you uh did you two have much to talk
about about back home and saying,

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.837
well, quite a bit. Yeah, I didn't have
time to stay long. How long has it

00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:20.186
been since you've seen him? About 23?
Uh where'd you see him last back in

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:25.346
the States? And was he in the army
then? Yeah. How about you know I wasn't

00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:28.607
here last time he saw you were wearing
a nice plaid suit and here you are

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.607
in the pics. Huh? That's right. Well
tell us robert, what do you expect to

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.637
do when you get back to your lawyer?
Do you have any plans? No? Too long?

00:01:36.670 --> 00:01:41.736
So what what were you doing before I
was a bartender. Dave Hill. Exactly.

00:01:41.769 --> 00:01:45.557
I'd imagine you'd want to go right
back to that same thing. Speaking of

00:01:45.590 --> 00:01:49.007
bartending and drinks and whatnot?
You've been getting any beer at all?

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.857
Yeah, but I think about 18 can since
I've been overseas. Well that's with

00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:57.706
your favor. I imagine bartender or
not. Huh, evidently. What else do you

00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:00.967
do with your off time? Where do you
spend your time you've gotten into the

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.917
city if you've been around to the red
cross rec room or what? No, I

00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:09.856
haven't. You get to see any movies at
all? Yeah, I saw two since I've been

00:02:09.889 --> 00:02:15.036
over since you've been up here and
luzon island. Yeah. Well bob you're

00:02:15.069 --> 00:02:17.726
doing a swell job out here and it's
certainly nice that you got together

00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.436
with your brother again. We hope you
get together with the family soon

00:02:20.469 --> 00:02:24.177
back in the lawyer. Arizona. You just
heard PFC robert legate speaking to

00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:29.289
you from luzon island in the
Philippines. We return you now to the UnitedStates
