MUCH MORE THAN ‘THREE HOTS AND A COT’
Military career provided security and the ability to give back for Gary Forsey and his wife, Marie he Korean War was just ending when Gary Forsey decided to join the military. He’d grown up in Newfoundland, Canada, where his father was a teacher, and moved to New York as a young man to live with his grandmother. Looking to get out on his own, Forsey enlisted at the age of 19.
Besides offering a career path, the military provided some welcome security in life — like steady meals and a place to sleep. It was “three hots and a cot,” he said during a recent interview. Military service ended up being much more than that, of course. Forsey, who served nine years in the U.S. Air Force and another 13 years in the Army, ended up meeting his future

He was born in Tacoma, Wash., in 1929, but his parents moved to the Palouse when he was 2. He grew up on the family farm, attending schools in both Troy and Moscow.

SERVING HIS COUNTRY THROUGH TWO MAJOR WARS Wendell Wendt of Lewiston was in both World War II and Korea
L
By KERRI SANDAINE of the Tribune
ong before the modernday era of cellphones and computers, military couples relied on the U.S. Postal Service to stay in touch during World War II and the Korean War. Wendell and Eva Wendt, of Lewiston, exchanged hundreds of letters while he was stationed overseas during three separate stints serving his country.
“I never spoke to him for two years,” Eva said. “I wrote him a letter every day except Saturday night because the mail didn’t go out on Sunday. While he was gone, I lived with my mom and dad in Wisconsin.” Wendell, 91, now resides at the Idaho Veterans Home in Lewiston, but Eva, 87, visits him on a daily basis and brings him home every Sunday for a homecooked dinner.
“He likes my fried chicken,” she said with a smile. Wendell grew up in Poy Sippi, Wisc., where he spent his childhood hunting squirrels. He was delivering milk before he got a driver’s license and enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of 17. “There was a war going on,” he said. “I think serving in the armed forces is a good deal.” In 1944 when he joined the war effort, Wendell was stationed on a dry dock that repaired ships. He served as a carpenter’s mate, achieving the rank of petty ofcer rst class.
“I know it took us 33 days to get over there,” he said. “We had to be towed.” In between trips overseas, he met and married Eva, and then enlisted in the Navy Reserves. He was among the rst to be called back during the Korean War and served 30 months in Japan. Eva and the couple’s two oldest children spent a year in Japan during his nal tour. Wendell had 200 Japanese residents working for him on the base, mostly carpenters, masons and painters. “On Christmas, each one

SALUTE brought us a quart of beer,” Eva said. “We had over 200 bottles. Isn’t that something? We had a lot of company, and it didn’t last long.” After three years in Japan, Wendell left the military and returned to Wisconsin with his growing family. He and Eva raised four kids, Darwyn, Douglas, Henry and Linda, who died last year of a rare cancer. In 1955, the Wendt family moved to Idaho, where Wendell worked at a sawmill in St. Maries before settling in Lewiston in 1960. He was a millwright at Potlatch Corp. for nearly 30 years, before retiring in 1989.
Wendell and Eva enjoyed hunting, shing, camping and four-wheeling during their younger years. They also volunteered at the Veterans Home canteen for a decade and belong to two local veterans organizations. They’ve been members of Grace Lutheran Church in Lewiston since the early ‘60s. When asked what he would say to young people considering military service, Wendell said he highly recommends it. “They should serve their country, if they can.”

The History of Veterans Day Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day.’” As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans. In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations -- amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 Kermit Malcom says goodbye to became a day to honor American one of his daughters, 1945. veterans of all wars.

Many people who want to help local veterans might not be able to do so more than one day per week. But some veterans may require daily assistance. Men and women can start a locallybased Facebook group for fellow members of their community who want to pitch in to help local veterans. Such a group can make it easier to share information and arrange help for veterans in need. Many veterans return home from serving overseas in need of help. Offering such help can improve veterans’ lives while letting them know their efforts and sacrices are appreciated.

VETERANS DAY BEGINS WITH ARMISTICE DAY
Veterans Day is a byproduct of the end of World War I, when Germany and the Allied Nations signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ceasing ghting and establishing terms of peace. On November 11, 1919, the rst anniversary of the signing of the treaty, the rst Armistice Day events were held. Armistice Day was initially a legal holiday to honor the end of World War I only, states History.com. The
United States Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday starting in 1938. However, in 1954, after the country had been embroiled in both World War II and the Korean War, Congress amended the Act of 1938 by renaming the commemoration “Veterans Day” to honor veterans of all wars.
VETERANS DAY IN OCTOBER?
According to Military.com,
for a short time, thanks to the Uniform Holiday Bill, which in 1968 established three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating national holidays on Mondays, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October — the rst being October 25, 1971. However, many people did not agree with this decision, continuing to honor the holiday on the original date. In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed a new law that returned Veterans Day to November 11 beginning in 1978. Since then,

HOW MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER

emorial Day and Veterans Day each honor the military, though the two holidays are not the same. Memorial Day, which is celebrated annually on the last Monday in May, honors the brave men and women who lost their lives while serving in the American military. Many communities
host memorial ceremonies honoring their fallen soldiers on Memorial Day, ensuring such soldiers’ bravery and sacrifices are never forgotten. While many people now view Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer, the weekend should not be celebrated without also pausing to reflect on and recognize the military personnel who lost their lives
in defense of freedom and the American way of life. Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11 and recognizes all men and women who have served in the military. Veterans Day coincides with Remembrance Day, which is a celebrated by the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 member states with connections to the British Empire.
Latah Credit Union
Though Veterans Day and Remembrance Day are each celebrated on November 11, the latter recognizes armed forces members who died in the line of duty, making it more similar to Memorial Day than Veterans Day. It’s not uncommon for people to recognize fallen soldiers on Veterans Day, but many use the holiday to express their appreciation to existing veterans.

By the summer of 1943, the unit was in North Africa ying combat missions.

Davis' obituary in the New York Times noted: "He was ostracized at West Point and then was barred from commanding white troops and turned away from segregated ofcers' clubs in the war years." While a cadet, Davis had sought to join the Army Air Corps but was rejected because segregationist policies of the time designated the Air Corps as whites-only. Instead, he graduated in June 1936 with a commission as a second lieutenant of infantry. His rst assignment was to the all-black 24th Infantry Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia.

George Marshall ordered an investigation, and Davis spoke to the investigating committee, which found essentially no difference in performance between black and white units. By then, though, Davis was already back in the ght in the skies over Italy. The men under his command ew more than 15,000 sorties, downed 112 enemy planes, and destroyed or damaged 273 on the ground. His units lost just 66 of their planes and only about 25 of the bombers under their escort. Davis led dozens of missions in P-47 Thunderbolts and P-51 Mustangs. He received the Silver Star for a strang run into Austria and the Distinguished Flying Cross
for a bomber escort mission to Munich on June 9, 1944. He would go on to serve in several commands, in Europe and the United States, before the end of the war. In 1947, Davis transferred to the newly created Air Force and was tapped by President Harry S. Truman to help draft the service's desegregation plan. Davis' life served as an example of the power of perseverance, courage, character and extraordinary competence, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein said at the naming ceremony. "Some have had to bear a heavier burden than others to teach us all what right looks like," Goldfein said. "Today, we celebrate one of these men." DAVIS continued on page 27

Some posters emphasized security, the most iconic being the poster by artist Seymour R. Goff depicting a sinking ship and captioned: "Loose Lips Might Sink Ships." Perhaps the most famous artist to produce a poster was Norman Rockwell, who illustrated a soldier manning a gun, captioned: "Let’s Give Him Enough and On Time." The message was aimed at Americans on the home front who were encouraged to give to the war effort and to scale back consumption so that factories could prioritize arms production.
Although Rockwell painted some posters, he was much better known for illustrating Saturday Evening Post magazine covers in support of the war effort. Many posters depicted the enemy as menacing. One striking poster illustrates a missile with USA stamped on the n and "MORE PRODUCTION" written on the body. Its target was a swastika set in the red circle of Japan's Rising Sun ag.

She still irts with her husband when she comes to visit him at the Idaho Veterans Home in Lewiston. The Forseys came to Lewiston after Gary retired from the Army. Marie’s parents had moved there, and they got married there in 1969. Around that same time, Gary served the rst of his two tours in Vietnam.
He never talked about his wartime service much, but he was awarded two Bronze Stars, as well as a Purple Heart after being wounded in a mortar attack. Forsey completed his second tour of duty in Vietnam in 1972; he retired from the Army in 1974. He and Marie both became teachers; she taught special education students in Emmett during the week, returning to Lewiston on weekends, while Gary taught math and sciences in Lapwai and Elk River, and later at the Tammany Alternative Center in Lewiston. The Forseys had four
sons, two of whom also served in the military. “I think everyone should serve at least two years,” said Gary, who is now 85 years old. “You grow up a little bit. I learned to be tolerant of other people.” Marie, who was taught that people should always give back, said military service is an opportunity to do just that. “It’s not only a chance to become more mature, but you get the opportunity to help your country and people around the world,” she said.

The soldiers had to withstand the cold in canvas tents that used tiny diesel oil-fueled stoves as their only source of heat. It wasn’t all misery all the time, however. Before winter struck, Osterberg’s crew got tapped to build a stage for a USO show. The guest of honor? Bob Hope, of course. “We spent all night building that stage for him,” he said. “We scraped up all the timbers we could nd to make a oor. It was kind of a crude-looking old thing. But he got up there,
he had a big band and he performed.” But there was still a war on, so after the show the company pried apart the timbers, loaded them on a trailer and hauled them away. “We needed ‘em.” Osterberg didn’t escape the Korean conict entirely unscathed, however, dealing with a bout of malaria that struck while he was on a ship home. He spent the rst of three weeks of leave in bed, but recovered in time to have some rest and relaxation. He then reported to Fort Lewis for a new assignment in Germany. Those six months wrapped up his service, and he was discharged as a sergeant rst class. Like many of his fellow soldiers, Osterberg picked up his
civilian life pretty much where he left off. He found a job with Potlatch and worked in Lewiston and the company’s namesake town north of Moscow. When he got laid off, Osterberg spent some time working at a seed warehouse. In June of 1954, he married Donna Smith and helped raise her daughter Diana Bailey, who still lives in Clarkston. He looks back on his service in Korea with a matter-of-fact attitude, describing a simple resolve shared by all of his fellow combatants. “We just kept saying ‘We have to beat the Communists,’” Osterberg said. “We couldn’t let them continue.” Mills may be contacted at jmills@lmtribune.com or (208) 848-2266.
DAVIS continued from page 21 Davis' great-nephew, Douglas Melville, said he would always stress the importance of making the world a better place. "He would always say, 'Doug if you can only stand tall by requiring someone to sit on their knees, you are the problem.'" Davis died July 4, 2002, at 89 and is buried with his wife, Agatha, in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. In 2017, the U.S. Military Academy named a barracks after Davis.
