A 99-year-old World War II veteran recounts life Henry Hayes, in care in Lynden, just wanted to be around airplanes

By Calvin Bratt editor@lyndentribune.com

LYNDEN ­— Amid the happy hubbub of a family party for his 99th birthday, Henry Hayes was being asked for details of his life that only he would know.

Henry was helped to hear the questions of a reporter by a portable amplification system held by his son James. But when he spoke, Henry’s voice was strong and sure.

“I wanted to be around airplanes. I just wanted to be an aircraft mechanic,” he said in good summary of both his military and civilian careers.

He gives firsthand details of someone who fought in World War II, the disappearing Greatest Generation. For instance, he remembers his transport ship from Halifax “zigzagging to Scotland” to evade “the German subs raising heck” in the Atlantic Ocean at the time.

He has been living in the home of his daughter Janet in Lynden for three years, with her as his prime caretaker. The gathering there Oct. 8 was for his birthday celebration.

Henry Leroy Hayes was born on Oct. 14, 1917, in St. Michael, Nebraska, the second boy among 13 children. The family lived mostly in Utica, another small town on the Nebraska prairie, with Henry getting a formal education only through eighth grade.

At age 11 he was farmed out to a couple that needed help.

“I finally thought that I should get out on my own even though I was living with very loving people who were really good to me,”

he said.

He signed up for the U.S. Army Air Corps at age 22 and he worked as a mechanic on the planes that helped fight World War II for the Allies, including the P-38 Lightning. He had stints at airfields in England, North Africa and Italy.

Hayes won the highest non-combatants’ award for valor in World War II from an incident in Italy when a damaged returning plane landed on a dirt runway, and a bomb it was carrying exploded. “I pulled the pilot out of a burning B-24 that landed at our base,” he said.

After his first round of duty, Hayes de-

cided to reenlist and he would end up spending 21 years, 7 months and 7 days in the Air Force. Among many diverse assignments, he saw duty with the B-25 Mitchell bomber, he recalled.

He was married to Doris on Dec. 22, 1946, and they would have seven children: Linda, Henry, Sharon, Randy, James, Janet and Julie. Five are surviving. Doris died three years ago.

One son definitely picked up on his father’s love of airplanes. James is a commercial airline Boeing 777 captain, living in Blaine.

Henry’s career put him generally in

North American and European places, never the Pacific. He was for a time at the Canadian air force base at Gander, Newfoundland, serving the Strategic Air Command. “He went all over the place, all over,” quipped James.

Time at McChord Field near Tacoma is what especially brought the family to the Northwest.

Henry retired in 1987 from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota working with the Titan missiles.

Henry has 16 grandchildren, 26 greatgrandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, by the family’s best count.

A father’s World War II comrades posthumously honored David M. Kroontje visits the Lorraine American Military Cemetery in France this fall

By Calvin Bratt editor@lyndentribune.com

WHATCOM ­— The stories of those who served bravely in uniform have become very important to David M. Kroontje — to the point that, from his Sand Road home, he will go to great lengths to retell and honor those stories.

A meticulous observer and chronicler of details, Kroontje has some personal reasons to be drawn to American military history and lore. In World War II, his father, Milton, was an American GI in the Allied push after the D-Day invasion. More recently in Middle East conflict, both his son David A. and daughter Dayleen have been pilots for the U.S. Air Force — he of fighter jets, she of big transport planes — following in their dad’s career arc in the “wild blue yonder.”

In 2015 in the Tribune, Kroontje told the story of family friend and former county veterinarian “Doc” Lauren Brown, then nearly 90, receiving medals including the Bronze Star for World War II service 71 years earlier.

This year, Kroontje was on a mission to pay overdue respects to his father and some comrades-in-arms, at one of the largest World War II memorial sites in Europe, the Lorraine American Military Cemetery at Saint-Avold, France. David traveled with his wife Nancy this fall, and he offered this account to the Tribune to print:

Thank You

posthumous honors to 14 men killed in action during World War II. What made this activity particularly meaningful to me was that, of these members of the United States Army resting in peace for over 70 years now, seven of them almost certainly fought beside my dad.

In December 1944, amidst the harshest European winter in 25 years, Lt. General George S. Patton Jr.’s Third Army of the United States was knee-deep in the mud, blood and snow that typified the war in eastern France. Among the units comprising the Third Army was the 87th “Golden Acorn” Infantry Division, which in turn was comprised of numerous subordinate units including specialists in artillery, engineering, medical support, signalmen, reconnaissance, quartermasters, ordnance and military police.

The heart of the 87th however, was its three infantry regiments, the 345th, 346th and the 347th. My father, 22-year-old PFC Milton Kroontje from Everson, was a BAR (Browing Automatic Rifle) machine-gunner in Company E of the 347th’s 2nd Battalion.

On Nov. 27 the 87th Infantry Division left Southampton, England by ship and put ashore at Le Havre, France on the 29th. Then began several days of staging and transport that brought the division very near the battlefront at Achen. By the night of Dec. 14 the three battalions of the 347th Infantry Regiment had experienced a taste of battle, taken their first casualties, and were positioned a few hundred meters from Germany just outside the tiny French village of Obergailbach.

At 7 a.m. on Dec. 15, 1944, the 347th’s 2nd Battalion commenced an action to capture Hill 356. Known locally as “le Sitter’s Hill,” Hill 356 is situated up a draw barely a kilometer east-southeast of Obergailbach.

Amidst the rolling hills of farmland surrounding Obergailbach, the le Mertzenwald forest covered part of Hill 356 and extended beyond to the northeast. As the battalion pressed forward to capture Hill 356, it came under withering fire from armor of the Germans' 110 Panzer Grenadiers, lying hidden

Veterans in the timber.

During this melee, the 2nd Battalion was pinned down by German shelling and took numerous casualties. It was the casualties taken by the 2nd Battalion in and around Obergailbach which brought me to SaintAvold nearly 72 years after the fact. Those casualties included my dad.

Like many of his World War II comradesin-arms, during the remainder of his life my dad spoke little about his experiences during the war. Sadly, he died (in 1984) before my interest in history prompted the questions about the service he and his colleagues rendered that were now burning in my mind.

After reading the 87th Infantry Division’s history book, I resolved to visit Saint-Avold and Obergailbach, and I set about researching the events of Dec. 15, 1944.

I learned that seven men from my dad’s regiment are interred at Saint-Avold. As I read of the events, and of these men, I wondered about many things: • How well did these fellows, and my dad, know each other? Were they fast friends?

• Together, did they sing songs, drink pints of bitters and chase English girls about?

• Did any of these men die so that others among them might live (a consideration of considerable personal significance to me)?

• Has anyone before me, with a connection to their shared history, paid homage to these particular men at the site of their graves? (I sure hoped so) While visiting Saint-Avold, for my father Milton Kroontje I would pay my respects to his fallen comrades, namely: • PFC Raymond S. Canavan, killed March 16, 1945 • PVT Joseph V. Capuana, killed Dec. 16, 1944 • PFC Thomas W. Lash, killed Dec. 19, 1944 • PVT William F. Luttrell, killed Dec. 14, 1944 • PVT Harold Rothgeb, killed Jan. 5, 1945 • PVT Howard Rothgeb, killed Jan. 4, 1945 • PFC Leon Smolowitz, killed March 16, 1945 We arrived in Saint-Avold late on Oct. 4 and had a bit of rain during the night. Arising at our B&B on the 5th, we enjoyed breakfast with our hosts and were touched by

It’s a peaceful, but emotion-provoking experience to consider the human toll in warfare at the Lorraine military cemetery. (Courtesy photo/ David Krontje) their sincere interest in our mission. Even all these decades later, the few survivors of the war, and even their descendants, recognize and appreciate the sacrifice made by the Americans eternally resting there. The innkeeper telephoned the mayor of SaintAvold, who asked if it would be possible to publish in the paper a photo of the come-tovisit son of an American liberator. I humbly complied. At the cemetery later that morning, I had the good fortune to meet and chat with a German couple there taking photos of grave markers for American families looking to connect with lost soldiers. The German gentleman, with his voice cracking and moisture in his eyes, surveyed the scene and said, “For 60 years I’ve had the privilege of living in peace and freedom and it is these men who gave it to me.”

From the parking lot there is no real view of the cemetery. It is the memorial chapel, seemingly guarding its charges, that initially captures visitors’ attention. The chapel stands larger-than-life on a hill overlooking the cemetery, designed and positioned as if to focus one’s attention on the scale of sacrifice and triumph achieved by those who rest below.

During our weeks in France we had been blessed with superb weather, sunny and warm. The morning of our visit to the cemetery it was windy and cold, but with bright, broken skies. Steeped as I was in the anticipatory emotion of this moment, I couldn’t help but wonder at the symbolism. I fancied it was the Almighty reminding us, through the chill, of the grief and loss associated with this place, while simultaneously using Old Glory held in full unfurl by the wind, and the sun busting through the clouds like an American tank through a hedgerow, to illus-

trate the bright and steady future that these men had purchased with their lives. And their purchase was no small transaction.

The Lorraine Cemetery is the largest of the World War II American military cemeteries. Covering 113.5 acres, it is on the gently rolling hills of the immaculately groomed grounds that 10,489 white marble headstones stand at attention in perfect, eternal formation. Surely it is sacred ground. The Lorraine American Military Cemetery is a moving, inspirational place where only the most jaded could avoid feeling pride in and gratitude for those there interred.

Saint-Avold presents a heartbreaking example of the indiscriminate cruelty of war, driven deep when one walks through Plot A and realizes that 30 sets of brothers lie there, side by side. (And one of the sets is of the twin brothers Harold and Howard Rothgreb in my father’s regiment.)

Inscribed in the Memorial Chapel’s north wall is the following resolution: HERE WE AND ALL WHO SHALL HEREAFTER LIVE IN FREEDOM WILL BE REMINDED THAT TO THESE MEN AND THEIR COMRADES WE OWE A DEBT TO BE PAID WITH GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE OF THEIR SACRIFICE AND WITH HIGH RESOLVE THAT THE CAUSE FOR WHICH THEY DIED SHALL LIVE In due course I did complete my mission at Saint-Avold. A rose was placed at the grave of each my dad’s seven comrades. In consideration of my family’s long connection to the U.S. Air Force, I placed blooms at the graves of two commissioned airmen, 1st LT Raymond F. Shinder and 2nd LT Albert F. Wick. Also honored were three randomly selected unknowns — “Comrades in Arms Known But To God.” Finally, I placed flowers

on the graves of brothers PFC John and PVT Victor Akimoto. The Japanese-American Akimoto family (with a Northwest connection) not only suffered the loss of two sons — it suffered the indignity and injustice of wartime internment. It is interesting to note that John and Victor’s entirely Japanese-American unit, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, remains the most decorated unit in American military history. To each of these 14 heroes, on behalf of my dad, I rendered the respectful courtesy of a proper salute.

As Veterans Day approaches, it seems appropriate to ponder such tales as this, and to extend to each veteran, living and dead, solemn thanks for their service in the defense of freedom.

Anway to speak at FHS Veteran’s Day assembly Annual event features meet-and-greet with local veterans beforehand

By Brent Lindquist brent@lyndentribune.com

Vietnam War veteran Chuck Anway talks with Ferndale High School students at least year's FHS Veterans Day assembly meet-and-greet. Anway is the featured speaker at this year's assembly also. (File photo)

FERNDALE — For Ferndale High School teacher Dave Brudwick, giving students new information is important, especially when dealing with FHS’s annual Veteran’s Day assembly.

Taking place twice Thursday morning, Nov. 10, this year’s assembly will incorporate the usual meet-and-greet between students and local veterans.

War is different now than it was then, Brudwick said, and though it may be no less harrowing, its nature has certainly changed. Brudwick hopes this year’s assembly, which will feature Vietnam War veteran Chuck Anway, will give students a perspective into the ins and outs of the war in which he served.

Anway was a gunner on a Huey helicopter. He was exposed to Agent Orange, an herbicide used in warfare against

Veterans Communist insurgents in the war. He will talk about that experience, as well as show a video touching on the horrors of the napalm used in the Vietnam War.

“I think a lot of kids don’t realize what these people went through,” Brudwick said. “In World War II, it wasn’t like you pushed a button and the rocket goes where you want it to go. It was about how many bodies you could throw at people.

It has become more of a modernized war. Before, it was ‘walk across the field and hope you had more guys than they did.’”

Brudwick said war is still harrowing, but he wants to give kids a picture of wars they may not know much about.

Anway spoke to Brudwick’s leadership class so they could decide if they wanted him to speak at the assembly.

“The kids of this age, they don’t understand,” he said. “A lot of the stuff he was discussing, they didn’t know or understand that stuff. Tunnel rats, things like that, they have no idea what that stuff is. I think it’s important for kids to hear that and see that kind of stuff.”

Anway will give his presentation twice Thursday morning, with the first assembly beginning at 9 a.m. The meetand-greet will begin beforehand at 8 a.m. Another assembly will follow the 9 a.m. one.

will waive fees at day-use recreation sites across the nation on Nov. 11 in honor of veterans on Veterans Day. This fee waiver includes many picnic areas, boat launches, trailheads, and visitor centers. Concession operations will continue to charge fees unless the permit holder wishes to participate.

Fees for camping, cabin rentals, heritage expeditions, or other permits still apply.

The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest is one of the places where fees are waived.

Western Washington University helping veterans who run out of GI Bill benefits State Legacy book including Joe Moser profile now on sale OLYMPIA — A new book featuring a dozen gripping profiles of Washingtonians who served in World War II has just been released by the Office of Secretary of State’s Legacy Washington team.

“Washington Remembers World War II” tells personal stories from the global conflict in which the state played a key role. The book is a tribute to the veterans and citizens who lived through unimaginable horrors, as well as the “Rosie the Riveters” on the home front who helped win the war. About 6,000 Washingtonians gave their lives in the war.

One of those featured is Joe Moser, of Ferndale, (pictured right) who died last December at age 94. He was a P-38 Lightning pilot shot down over France in 1944 and then was held in captivity for eight months, including at the Buchenwald concentration camp.

The book is available through the Secretary of State’s State Seal Store. It costs $22.50, including shipping and handling. Access online at https://www. sos.wa.gov.

In August 2015, Legacy Washington unveiled an exhibit about the 12 World War II profile subjects to mark the 70th anniversary of the war’s end. That exhibit is now at the Karshner Museum and Center for Culture & Arts in Puyallup until February 2017.

Forest Service fees waived Friday EVERETT — The U.S. Forest Service

BELLINGHAM — Beginning this fall, Western Washington University is offering full tuition waivers for students who are veterans that have exhausted their GI Bill benefits.

The GI Bill normally covers about four years’ worth of tuition. However, some programs might take longer, and remedial courses may take students more time to complete. In addition, transfer students may have been taking classes that did not count toward their degrees. For this reason, Ann Beck, assistant director of Western’s Veteran Services, believes that many veteran students may have struggled with completing their programs.

In order to qualify for this tuition waiver, students must have completed a least 24 credits at Western, which is about two quarters, while using their GI Bill benefits. This offer is only for students pursuing bachelor’s degrees. As part of the application process, the Veteran’s Office will determine whether students are eligible for some other kind of grant or assistance.

Beck says the tuition waiver is a pioneering program, as she is not aware of any other public university in Washington state offering a 100-percent waiver of tuition and fees to veteran students in these cases, as Western now does.

“Other public universities in Washington offer a 50-percent waiver of tuition and fees when veteran students run out their GI Bill benefits,” said Beck.

The program is also beneficial for veteran students pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) degrees, which sometimes requires more classes.

“Veterans that are unsure of their benefits status can also just call or come by our office and we will work with them to get that information,” said Beck.

Reach Beck at 650-4324 or Ann. Beck@wwu.edu or go to http://www. wwu.edu/veteranservices/.
