George Henry Grobe, Aviation Machinist Mate Second Class, who enlisted in the Navy shortly after completing high school back in 1939, and now is a Navy veteran who entered the Navy in November of 1939, is spending this week with relatives and friends in Fredericksburg. Grobe is spending part of his 28-day furlough here, having visited with other relatives and friends in San Antonio and Menard. He is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Grobe. Since this country's entrance into the war George has been on the High Seas, most of the time having been spent on board patrol vessels in the far reaches of the Pacific in an effort to detect and track down enemy craft that plague these waters. He saw five years of overseas duty. Traditionally quiet, as are most Navy men, Grobe had little to say concerning the part he is playing in the Navy's highly successful Pacific operations. Grobe did however, relate his experiences on December 7, 1941 when he was aboard the USS Maryland at Pearl Harbor. His ship was one of those hit by the Japs when they swooped out of the blue to shell the American stronghold. Grobe recalled that he was knocked flat when a shell exploded nearby. Luckily the blow only knocked him out temporarily and he received no wounds or other injuries. After leaving the Maryland he served on an aircraft carrier as servicing unit. George will report at a West Coast port on completion of his furlough, he will be assigned a new post when he gets back but he could not divulge that secret. George Henry Grobe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Grobe, is another of the many Gillespie County youths on the fighting fronts for US Armed Forces. He was at Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941.

Cpl. Clinton Grona, Stationed In South America, Would like To Get In Combat Area Cpl. Clinton Grona, who is stationed with the U.S. Army in the republic of Guatemala, in Guatemale City, likes his station fine, but still wishes he were in a combat area, according to a letter received by his parents Mr. and Mrs. Otto Grona. This is Sunday night, Clinton said, in starting his letter, yesterday was my day off, I went to Guatemala City. There's a lot to do there. I bowled nearly all afternoon. Right now I have a job making out payrolls. In one of your letters you ask about the people down here. They are all Spanish and Indians, mostly Indians. Most of the Spanish people are engaged in some kind of business. Most of the Indians specialize in the textile industry, weaving blankets some of the pettiest I have ever seen. I sent you one a few days ago, I hope you got it. Farming is also a very important occupation here, they raise everything. The Spanish people as well as the Indians are very friendly, an American soldier rates. I'm invited to some people's home on Christmas eve for a midnight "tamale" supper. I couldn't wish for a better place to be in foreign service, but I still wish I were in a combat area. We are more or less waiting for the war to come to us here. One year, 11 months and 2 days of his military service was spent overseas. He was the recipient of the American Campaign Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, the World War II Medal and the Victory Medal.
