Your name Wallace Wayne Young

Did you by any chance keep a diary of what happened to you that day?
NO

Were any of your friends killed or wounded either during the landing or
during the day?
YES

Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they became
casualties?
NO

Were you wounded? LATER

Do you remember what it was like — that is, do you remember whether you
felt any pain or were so surprised that you felt nothing?

Do you remember seeing or hearing anything that seems funny now, even
though it may not have seemed funny at the time?

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic or simply memorable, which struck
you more than anything else?

ONE THING IN Particular. Father Lacy was
giving the plasma , last words and in general
helping everyone although shells were falling all
over the area. Many of our men at that moment
came to realize God helps them that help
themselves. A good foxhole was first on the
agenda and then the prayer that you would not
get hit.
