March of 1943

I'm meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff today about the Operation Cartwheel which is aimed to attack a major Japanese base in Rabaul. We started of taking little islands of the coast to set up strategic bases. I originally started off with just Australian soldiers but soon American and British soldiers started showing up to the pacific theater. Soon we took over New Guinea.

I was absolutely ecstatic when I received my medal of honor for conspicuous leadership under heavy enemy attacks and also for protecting my family, my troops. My calls on what to do in a stressful situation played a part in me being awarded the medal of honor. I cant believe I was the first person to be awarded the medal of honor with a father that was awarded the medal of honor. I took the medal of honor with great gratitude and happiness. It gives me great joy to think back and put what I did to action one more time too.

December 8th 1941

I was sitting at my desk in Manila, Philippines when I found out that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor the Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall sent me a letter saying to get the Philippines ready for an attack from the Japanese. At this point I'm stressed right out so the immediate action I take is evacuate my family to Australia and get the air fields ready for an air, sea, and land assault. The Philippines are taken over quickly but I leave with one and final message I Shall Return. I was relocated to Melbourne, Australia ( an ally at the time) because President Roosevelt didn't want me to subject my self to danger.
