Hither and Yow ened and sick with worry men talk it Oyer the night before we sailed. I sat in the darkness on the Forward deck helping half a dozen Salors eat a can of switched pineapple. Some of the. Men in a our Little group were hardened and mature others were almost children. They talked seriously and their Gravity was touching. The older ones tried to rationalize How the Law of averages made it unlikely that our ship out of the hundreds in action would be hit. They spoke of the inferiority of the italian Fleet and they argued pro and con Over wether Germany had a hidden Luftwaffe up her sleeve that she might whisk out to destroy us. The Young ones spoke but Little they talked of their plans and Hopes of going to College or getting married after the War always epilogue by the phrase Quot if i get through this fracas  As we sat there on the hard deck in the Pale Light squatting to in Patent poets  Section 8 sucker Mills hotel mar friends and neighbors asked take it from me i d rather he by a lamp Post on old Broadway a we if i would join the fray i thought would be Short but now i m Here to stay.

Even the Dizz Iest of us knew that within less than Loo hours Many of us stood a very excellent Chance of being in this world no More. 1 done to believe a one of us was afraid of the physical part of dying that Isnit the Way it is. Your emotion is one of almost desperate reluctance to give up your  suppose that seems like splitting hairs and that it really All comes under the heading of fear yet somehow to us there is a difference. These gravely yearned for futures of men going into Battle include so Many things things such As see. Ing the Quot old lady Quot again of going history. With to College of staying in the Navy think just the for a career of holding your own kid whom you be never seen on your knee for just once of becoming once again the Champion Salesman in your territory of driving a Coal truck around the streets of Kansas City once More and Yea even of just sitting in the Sun for a Long time on the South Side of a House in new Mexico. When you huddle around to our Der and the shelf like deck above us was dotted with Little groups huddling and talking. You  see them but you could Bear them. I deliberately listened Asp find for awhile. Evary group was talking in some Way about their chances for survival. A dozen times i overheard this same remark Quot Well x done to worry about it because 1 look at it this Way if your number s up its up and if it ainu to then you la come through no matter what Quot every single person who expressed himself that Way was a liar and he knew it but what the hell a Guy has to say something on the last night. A a a a a i heard oldsters offering to make bets even Money we  be hit at All two to one we would t get seriously hit. Those were the offers hut i Don t think any Beta were actually made.

I never heard anybody say anything patriotic like the Story books have people saying. There was philosophizing but it was simple and unromantic. In a sure not one would have stayed on Shore if Given the Chance. There was something bigger than the awful dread that would have kept them there. With me it probably was the compelling vanity of having a part in the Moat Gigantic movement in All others it was i application of Ordinary unspoken even unrecognized patriotism. When i went aboard the naval vessel that was to carry us through the invasion i was struck with the Odd bleakness of the Walls and ceilings throughout the ship. At first i thought it was a new and very unbecoming sort of Interior decoration.
