346 REUNION IN AMARILLO
THE FAIR-HAIRED BOYS OF WORLD-WAR II MEET AGAIN (4)
The 346 shipped out of Le Havre on December 11, 1945, went through the stormiest weather of the war on the Victory Ship John Clarke for 18 days and finally arrived off New York Harbor to be greeted by a welcoming ship where the 346 was serenaded by the famous Andrews Sisters on December 29, 1945.
Fifty years is a long time, but it seems like yesterday when it all began. When eyes meet, there is a bond that every veteran feels, a bond that defies time, space, and status. All former rank is accepted and respected. This encompassing spirit extends even to the spouses. They are the fair-haired boys, they are young again, they are the 346.
