00:00:05.629 --> 00:00:11.597
division. He's PFC Arnafo Trao of
Tucson, Arizona. Arnafo, just where do

00:00:11.630 --> 00:00:17.727
you live in Tucson and uh who's

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.806
living there right now? Oh, my dad, my
mother and sisters. That's a nice

00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.486
big family. tell them what you're
doing out here. What's your job? Well,

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.157
I'm a radio operator. Uh, go out with
the OP as, uh, serving as an

00:00:31.190 --> 00:00:35.226
operator for the battalion commander.
A lot of people back there might not

00:00:35.259 --> 00:00:38.426
even know what an OP is. We're so used
to those initials. Suppose you tell

00:00:38.459 --> 00:00:43.467
them. Well, it's the port for the
battalion. OK. Now, uh, have you had any

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:47.146
experiences you'd like to tell us
about or tell us a little of the sights

00:00:47.179 --> 00:00:52.156
you've seen over here in the
Philippines? Well, it's been uh Haven't seen

00:00:52.189 --> 00:00:56.557
too much of the Philippines because
we've been engaged in the front, and

00:00:56.590 --> 00:01:00.116
when I get a little time off, I take
off to Manila because there's not a

00:01:00.149 --> 00:01:02.996
lot of people out there that can speak
Spanish. Well, that's right, you

00:01:03.029 --> 00:01:08.275
speak Spanish too, and uh your folks
back in in Arizona do, don't they?

00:01:08.308 --> 00:01:11.076
Well, suppose you go ahead and tell
them something in Spanish, anything

00:01:11.109 --> 00:01:14.266
you want to say it be all right.

00:01:14.299 --> 00:01:17.906
Uh no.

00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:24.647
recuerdos todos mis amigos and mis
amigas in the mesamosa.

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.025
Now can you give us a little idea of
what you said. I just taught in the

00:01:28.058 --> 00:01:32.217
very engaged here fighting and a
little prayer would help a lot for us

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:35.227
fighting over here. Well, I'm sure
they're going to give you that little

00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:38.947
prayer, as will everyone who listens
to you today. Best of luck to you,

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:43.566
