Robert 17 Sep 1944 Journal Entry


Sunday, Sept 17,

            Tonight is my last as a cadet and my things are all packed or ready to be, yet I have no idea as to how I’m spending my delay en route. The more I think of it the sicker I get. God how I’d like to get home.  If I could get a plane[1] home I’d certainly take my chances of getting to Tampa on time.


[1] As a member of military, he could fly on a military plane, space and priority permitting. But destinations, departures, delays, etc, are not guaranteed. The beginning of The Best Years of Our Lives demonstrates this type of travel.
