The reason you have not heard from mc in so long is that we in the Lunga Point have been very busy lately attending to our port of the Ini vasion of Luzon, and it was no small part we played, either. Ever since the Leyte Gulf operations in October and November, in which we participated, we have been preparing for the Luzon operations at a staging area, this beI ing a place where ships and troops are assembled for an operation, and it is quite a sight to be there 'and actually see such a number of ships and men and the activity that goes. with it, let alone be a i part of it. It has all been an adventure I shall never forgst, and I am proud to have been a part of it. Soon after leaving the staging area, in company with a formidable array of naval vessels of all | types, we were told where we were going and what was expected of us; so, when we reached our objective, we were all ready. The day of the actual invasion was designated as "S" Day, that being 9 flan., and we were due oft Lingayen Gulf prior to the invasion. We ran the gauntlet right through the middle of the Jap held Philippine Islands into the China Sea. The Japs knew we were there all right, but we were too strong for them, and then attacks were relatively light at first. It was just before we reach ed Lingayen Gulf, however, thai we had our most narrow escape A Jap bomber "peeled off" at 7,. 000 feet and started for us.
