Person Younjr Man Praised
By General Kenney. '
Plight Officer Hassell H. Painter.
Jr, of Roxboro, Route three, now in
service in the Southwest Pacific and
son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Painter,
has received the Air Medal, accord
ing to,information received today
from Gen. George C. Kenney, com
manding officer of the Allied Air
Forces, Southwest Pacific, in a let
ter to the young Flight Officer’s
parents.
Young Painter, 20 years of age, is
a graduate of Helena high school
and is a sister of Mrs. James Crowd
er. He has been in service about two
years and was last in Roxboro about
a year and a half ago. Since that
time he has been on almost constant
duty in the Pacific. He writes that
he may be able to be in Roxboro
again by this October.
The message from Gen. Kenney,
which recites details of the award
ing of the Air Medal and is full of
commendations, reads as follows:
Recently your son, Flight Officer
Hassel H. Painter, Jr., was decorat
ed with the Air Medal. It was an
award made in recognition of cour
ageous service to his combat organ
isation, his fellow American airmen,
his country, his home, and you.
He was cited for meritorious
achievement while participating in
aerial flights in the Southwest Pa
cific. Area from February 1, 1945 to
April 15, 1945. '
Your son took part In the sustain
ed operational flight mission during
which hostile contact was probable
and expected. These flights includ
ed bombing missions against enemy
installations, shipping* and supply
bases, and aided considerably in the
recent stresses in this theatre.
Almost every hour of every day
your son, and the sons of other
Atnerilan mothers, are doing such
things as that here in the South
west Pacific.
Theirs is a real and very tangible
contribution to victory and peace.
I would like to tell you how gen
uinely proud I am to have men such
as your son in my command, and
how gratified I am to know that
young Americans with such courage
and resourcefulness are fighting our
country's battle against aggressor
nations.
You, Mrs. Painter, have every
reason to share that pride and grat
ification.
