Outland was in the invasion of Okinawa. _ “On April 1, 1945, the invasion took place,” said Outland. "We arrived at our destination at the break of dawn and watched the Task Force bombard Okinawa in the Ryukyus. “I have often wondered what a person thinks when he is confront ed with danger. While you are in suspense waiting for something to happen your past catches up with the future. At times you seem to be able to hold your future in your hands and, say, ‘This is -what I have accomplished in life (with your past living in the present tense).’ Then you are suddenly en lightened by the thoughts of the ones you love, exclaiming (to yourself), ‘I am not too old to dream and have no regrets of the past!’ Those were my thoughts.” Asked what he thought of navy life and how he liked it, Outland said: “I’ll give you the definition of what a sailor is: a sanor is a guy wno is work ed too hard, gets too little sleep, takes verbal abuse no civilian would take, does every imaginable kind of job at any imaginable hour, never seems to get paid, never knows where he’s going, can seldom tell where he’s been— yet accepts the worst with com plete resignation, and last but not least, he really kinda likes it! You know why?—When you’re dog tired, been up since 4 A. M., work ing all day, and about to hit your ■sack a,t 8 P. M., a voice shouts ‘turn to on a work detail!” Then you unload a ship’s cargo of per ishable refrigerated foods. — You are ready to die by 2 A. M., but the job must be finished before dawn.—Soon you don’t care if you live or die, and suddenly, you’re a sailor, it’s over, and you did it and you think of all the people you know and how they would react under the circumstances and you begin to grin. You grin because you ain’t scared of nothing, and it is a fact that there is no ordeal you can’t face—and you know it!” The last five months of his ser vice in the navy Outland served on the USS Manderson Victory, an ammunition ship in the Philip pines. He lives with his grand mother, Mrs.„ M. V. Outland, at 1019 Jackson street. Employed by the Rosemary Manufacturing Company before he went into the service, Outland plans to enter school. He wears the American, Asiatic-Pacific rib bon with one star, the Good Con duct Medal and the Philippines Liberation ribbon.
