Vets Recall
On Second
Two years ago at this time, while many College students were worrying about final.
exams and planning excitedly for "big weekends," thousands of praying and seasick Amer
ican soldiers waded ashore, together with their British and 'Canadian buddies, in the ima
sion of the Continent.
Some of these men, now also thinking of final exams and "big weekends ; " paused
this week to remember and laboriously reconstruct in their minds their route and the spots
where their buddies had been
killed. Others haven't bothered
because they would rather forget.
Gl's" Will NO Forget
•All these Ex-Gl's **whether
they were devil-may-care para
troopers or conscientious Joe's
who thought We just didn't hate
the Germans enough, or just
plain guys Who obeyed orders and
hoped they wouldn't get killed—
all have fallen back into the ci
vilian scheme of things; maybe
not stronger, maybe not even
more mature, but certainly a lot
wiser. They're not forgetting
June 6, 1944.
. They're not forgetting the men
of the 2nd Ranger Battalion—the
258 of them who climbed the
cliffs of Pointe du Hoe in -the
early hours of that day. They're
not forgetting the 62 of theth
who were able to walk away un
der their own power three days
later; but most of all they're re
membering the Rangers who
landed there and never left alive.
Pointe. du Hoe now probably
looks a lot different than they re
member it. Two years have pass
ed since those shell holes were
made, and they're probably filled
with weeds and grass and flow
ers. There'll be a lot of wild mus
tard and daisies, and even some
poppies growing there. Normandy
is alWays'covered' with flowers in
Famine Drive
To Einiti.Today
The State College Famine
Drive will end today, after•an in ;
tensive campaign of three days.
Booths have been installed at
theatres for the collection of
funds, and collection boxes have
been distribtitVd at other places
in to Vii.
The campaign has included the
following points: (1) collection
of money by a hoUse-to-house•
canvas- for the purchase of fbod
to be sent abroad; (2) adoption
of a Eurdiein arid by various
organizatians; . (3) filling of car
tons to be isent to families; (4)
conservation of food by the Ob
servance of vTheallas Tuesday
and Thursdays; (6) elOthing for
relief;. and: (6), heifers for relief
.be purchased here and sent to
Europe.
Invasion Scenes
D-day Anniversary

the spring.
Grass Grows On Pill Boxes •
Those flat places are covered
with grass, and grass is growing
on top of the pillboxes. The wind
and rain have smoothed a lot of
the rough spots. It probably looks
a lot flatter than it did during
that week in June 1944.
Over on Omaha Beach now
there's a stone monument half
way up a hill that says: "In me
moriam to all meinbers of this
command (6th Engineer Special
Brigade), who lived fought and
died for the cause of Freedom:
D-Day, 6 June 1944." • Further
along the beach there's a small
plot of ground surrounded by a
white fence. It is the site of the
first American cemetery in
France, although the bodies have
now been moved to American
Cemetery No. 1 at St. Laurent.
There are 3,600 Americans bur
ied at St. Laurent. Offi,cer,s and
enlisted •men lie side by side, just
as they died, side by side. Some of
the serial numbers indicate that
the bodies underneath the earth
were once men of the Navy. Scat
tered throughout the white cross
es are Stars of David. On 162
crosses the word "Unknown" is
printed in neat black letters.
There are no names on any of
these crosses. There are only dog
tags nailed to their backs.
Cattle Reclaith Lanes
On the road from Omaha to
Utah Beach, the telephone wires
that they remember filling every
tree and ditch are gone. The
hedgerbvvs are there, though; just
as they'll always be. But now,
along the dusty lanes between
the hedgerows • where soldiers
used to march toward the front,
the cattle of Normandy have re
claimed their route.
PA GE THREE
A mile from the beach called
Utah you can see the white monu
ment erected "in proud memory
of our dead" by the Ist Engineers
Special Brigade.
Today, Utah beach is tidy. A
number. of landing craft haVe
washed up high on the beachk.,
but they've been there so long
they seem to belong. The battered
pillboxes have been tidied up, Vic).
and they're serving as memorials
to the men who captured them.
How Long Ago?
That's the way it
_is now. In an
other five or ten years it will
probably look about the same,
just a little smoother, a little
more civilized, a little more faint
ly remembered.
It's been a long time. But how
do you measure that sort of time?
Is it two years ago? Is it 2500
miles ago? Or is it just 600,000
casualties ago?
