Paul Adams and Weldon Bris-
coe transacted business in Dallas
Tuesday.
Dear Dad and Floy,
I had one of the greatest ex-
periences of my life today, sad
though it was. The world was
shocked to hear about the death
of our President. 1 was selected
to be on the guaid of honor to
escort the body of the President
from Union Station to the White
House.
We stood at attention until
they loaded the casket which
was w'rapped with the United
States flag on the cassion from
the train then we marched from
the Union Station to the White
House. Thousands of people lin-
ed the sidewalks. There was not
a sound from the crowd. Tears
were in the eyes of the people;
little, big; rich and poor as they
came to pay their last tribute
to a great man. The Navy and
Marine bands were playing soft
marching music. Soldiers, sailors,
Waves, and Wacs, Marines and
Spars, and Cadets of the Navy
School at Annapolis. All you
could hear was the marching feet
of those in the parade and the
band music.
Planes were in flight in huge
what we are fighting for.
When we heard the news of
his death there were tears in the
eyes of the soldiers here on this
base. He seemed more close
us here than any other city.
The boys here on the base flew
his plane. They carried him all
through his last conference at
Yalta and other places he had
been and the boys liked to do
everything in their power to
make him comfortable. Regard-
less of the mistakes he had made
and what the American people
,said about him before his death,
all of that was forgotten here to- *
day in Washington. People sure
paid him their highest respect
to a great man that deserves it. *
Dad, I could gon on all night and
tell you the things I saw today,
but that would take too long and
to make a long story short I am
a tired boy tonight after going
through what I did today.
I would not take anything for
the experience I had today. It
is something that I can look
back on in the years to come
and say I had a part in honoring
one of the greatest men on earth.
Funny how these military ser-
vices get under your skin, the
things they do in a time like this.
Dad, all this was on my mind
formation over head. All stores,
theatres and amusement places
were closed here in Washington
and I had to write and tell you
these things which I saw and
did and took part in in a small
way.
