big family. tell them what you're doing out here. What's your job? Well,
I'm a radio operator. Uh, go out with the OP as, uh, serving as an
operator for the battalion commander. A lot of people back there might not
even know what an OP is. We're so used to those initials. Suppose you tell
them. Well, it's the port for the battalion. OK. Now, uh, have you had any
experiences you'd like to tell us about or tell us a little of the sights
you've seen over here in the Philippines? Well, it's been uh Haven't seen
too much of the Philippines because we've been engaged in the front, and
when I get a little time off, I take off to Manila because there's not a
lot of people out there that can speak Spanish. Well, that's right, you
speak Spanish too, and uh your folks back in in Arizona do, don't they?
Well, suppose you go ahead and tell them something in Spanish, anything
you want to say it be all right.
Uh no.

Now can you give us a little idea of what you said. I just taught in the
very engaged here fighting and a little prayer would help a lot for us
fighting over here. Well, I'm sure they're going to give you that little
prayer, as will everyone who listens to you today. Best of luck to you,
PFC Arnulfo dereo of Tucson, Arizona. We return you from Luzon Island in
the Philippines to the United States.
