SIXTH ANNUAL REUNION"

The sixth annual reunion was perhaps one of the most successful reunions that was

had during the association's history. Y_Lile numerically or financially it did

not surpass those of several other reunions, its success was had because of the

spirit of friendliness that prevailed throughout the three day affair and wasenjoyed by everyone.

OLIVER BORNGESSER, Co K, 377th Infantry, 1896 Washington, Burmiogham, Michigan,

reunion chairman, deserves all the credit for the wonderful 3-day affair.

As usual there were the many familiar faces that attend every reunion and ofcourse it would not be fair to list the names of some and not others but our re-

unions are becoming more successful every year only because of the spirit thatprevails throughout these 95ers.

We had. many new faces also which is what we like to see. One of the purposes of

having the reunior_ in various cities in different parts of the country is to

make it easier for all to attend and also so its members can enjoy the sightsthat other cities have to offer.

The Hotel Statler cooperated with the association in making our reunion a suc-

cess. An early start was had Friday morning with registrations and there was aline formed to register when we opened at 8:30 A.M.

The complete program is published in the Journal but we might point out some of

the highlights of the reunion. The trip to Stroh's Brewery was perhaps the mostcomplete and interesting that could he _md. The association was not taken en

masse but was broken into small groups and taken to parts of the brewery thatrevealed the "hidden secrets" of hew beer is made. Everything from cleaning and

filling the barrels to actually tasting the finished product. Transportation toand from the brewery from the hotel was furnished by the association (no charge)

by chartered busses.

Friday an innovation was had insofar as the man's affair was concerned. In the

past we had dinner and entertainment but thought the fellows might like some-

thing new so we had a buffet supper with draught beer and other refreshments

plus an excellent entertainment program. The program was an extreme success and

received many favorable compliments from those attending.

Saturday morning, s business meeting was a spirited one and several constructive

suggestions were received from the floor. The meeting was very wall attended.

Dick Perlish, 26 Himlock Road, Manhasset, Long Island, New York, Co I, 377thInfantry, assumed temporary chairmanship during the election of officers.

Saturday afternoon's trip to Canada was a sellout a_ such a success that anextra bus had to be chartered to accommodate all. Souvenirs were purchased by

many and the trip to Belle Island, various motor buildings and civic buildings

and their history will he remembered by all who attended.

Saturday evening's affair is that gala event that everyone waits for. The gals

dressed in their best and never looked better. Practically all stayed for the

dancing and entertainment after the dinner and enjoyed themselves so much that

the orchestra had to be engaged for a half hour overtime. The affair wound up

at i:OO A.M. only because of the hotel regulations that the ballroom be closed

at that hour. Each group however broke into various private parties or retired

to celebrate the activities for the following day.

The _etz Hour was sincerely enjoyed by all who attended. The organ music added

to the sole_ity of the occasion and Col. Shawhan's talk was most appropriate.

The farewells afterward could be heard throughout the variousparts of the hotel.

"See you next year" and "I% was swell seeing you a_d the Mrs. again" could he

heard as various members and their wives and families get into taxis, automobiles,

etc. bound for home again.

Plan on attending next September if you have not made arrangements as yst. We

know once you attend a reunion you'll live an experience that will want to

bring you back again and again.

The Mets memorial services were unusually well attended. Organ music was pro-vided by a special organ brought in for the occasion. Colonel Shawhan, 795thOrdinance Compa_p perhaps one of the closest friends of General Twaddle, waskind enough to deliver the memorial talk on this occasion. Since his talk wascentered around our late General,it_smostappropriate that we publish his talkin full_ with his kind permission:

Wemeat here today to observe the Metz Hour, that time we have set apart, duringour annual reunion, to honor the heroic dead of the 95th Division.

Ten years have passed since the Division returned to the United States from thebattlefields of Europe. Again we are meeting in reunion to commemorate thehistory our comrades wrote on the fields of the Old World, and to freshen thefriendships formed during our service in the Division. The memories of Metz,Uckange, Thlonville, the Saar River towns, the crossing of the Lippe River,

Page 10: Vol 8 No 1 Jan 1956

Dortmund, and the mar_ other places,,all constitute a bond of comradeship thatgrows stronger with the passing of the years. The living have a great pride inservice. But, in their minds there is another memory, that of the still, whitecrosses marking the resting places of those comrades who did not return. Werecognize that they rendered the greater service. They gave their lives.

It is the force of all those memories that has impelled the men of the 95th toform this association so that they may preserve the glorious traditions whichtheir comrades founded.

As you know, our Division Association was revived a little more than five yearsago largely through the efforts of our beloved Division Commander, Major GeneralHarry L. Twaddle. The General said that his interest in reviving the Associa-tion lay in the fact that he wanted to see in existence a 95th Infantry DivisionAssociation as a living reality before he was carried off on a caisson to Arling-ton. He said that continued association with the officers and men who served

loyally with him was the greatest of his worldly desires, and that he knew ofnothing that would add more happiness to his retired life. He further said that

•by assisting in getting the Association back on its feet that he could offer ameasure of proof that loyalty, after all, does work both ways, from the top do_n,as _ll as from the bottom up.

Last December 12th, the General answered the final roll call. Now he sleeps inArlington. Today, the 95th Infantry Division Association, a living reality,honors the General.

Our thoughts of the General are usually memories of his qualities of leadership,a most important attribute Of a military cb_ander. I should lime to talk aboutthat leadership. Bat before going further I will define the w_rd. The most ap-propriate definition that I know of is one that I heard a speaker on leadershipuse many years ago. He said:

"Leadership is the management of men by persuasion and inspiration, ratherthan by direct or implied threat of force. It solves im_edlat_ concreteproblems by applying knowledge of, and sy,_athy with, human factors."

The principal quality of leadership is character. The speaker that X have Justmentioned sug_sted that there ware five cardinal virtues at the basis of char-acter. They are honer, courage, Justice, fidelity, and self-discipline.

Military men accept those five cardinal virtues as the basis of character. Whenthey say that a conI_anderis a man of high character they mean that he is a manof his word; a men of honorj a man to be trusted; a man who will choose to dothat which is right, and avoid doing that which is wrong.

I believe that these remar}cs on leadership may be properly applied to the leader-ship of General Twaddle. He had a fine appreciation of human nature, and he heldin high esteem the man who tried to do his part to the best of his ability. Iam sure that the men of the 95th will testii_ that the General was a man of highcharacter.

The General's code of conduct was sidle and reasonable. He discussed this codein a letter I received f_.omhim in July, 1948, shortly after his retirement fromactive military service. I kept that letter and have read it many times for init the General has condensed in a few sentences the characteristics of success-ful leadership. I should llke to read an extract from that letter to you. Ithink you will find it of interest. I quote:

"Now that I have been relegated to the catagory of 'has beens', I am ableto scan the thirty-six y_ars of active service in retrospect with a cer-tain degree of pride for having been given the privilege of serving m_Country unfettered, and uninfluenced by motives for personal advancement.Honesty, fair dealing, and loyalty, coupled with a willingness to serve,have constituted the principal elemants of my Code, and anyons who demon-strated those traits was the kind of a man whith whom I wanted to serve.His background or whatever component he came from made no differencewhatever."

Page 11: Vol 8 No 1 Jan 1956

11 e

"The high point of my career was the honor extended to me when GeneralMarshall gave me the command of the 95th Division. I shall never forgetthe occasion in his office when he informed me. It was several minutesafterwards before complete composure was regained. Later the same day hemet with a half dozen newly appointed division conm_nders and charged uswith oar great responsibility. Among other things he emphasized the char-acteristics which he demanded from his top leaders:

ELlltary skill

Physical stamina

/ Strength of character

Flexibility of mind

I Jotted those points down in my notebook at the time, and referred to them morethan once during combat operations when the going was not so goqd. I recommendthem to all leaders from the squad on up as an excellent guide toward accomplish-ment of any mission in war or peace."

"To have had the honor of comma_ing the 95th, I shall cherish to my dying day,and as I watch the water in upstream, I shall recall the feats of the greatestgroup of officers and men ever assembled into a fighting organization. Therewas no pulling back in the harness; all did their Johe willingly, to the best oftheir ability, and with an ever present display of icr/altywhich was most remark-able. I believe that you will agree with me that the cooperative spirit whichexisted among unit comm-nders and staff was of such sincere quality as to makethe division an unusually happy family, which condition did not exist in allcombat divisions. With the high standard of service which the officers and mensat up themselves, it was unnecessary for me to exercise hard-listed co"m_nd; Imerely had to suggest, and it was done before I visited the next time." End ofquotation.

Those were the words of a sincere man, a modest man who eternally appreciatedthe opportunity he had to serve his country. And,_they express eloquently hisfeelings for the members of the 95th Division.

A few days after General Twaddle's death I received a letter from Colonel Ihlen-feld in which he wrote of his admiration and respect for the General. ColonelIhlenfeld quoted the author, Hilaire Belloc, who said:

"He has not died who can bequeathSome influence to the land he knows."

General Twaddle has bequeathed a heritage to us, a heritage in the form of amission which he gave to us in his Metz Hour talk in Chicago last year. I quotethe General:

"It is ou_ solemn duty to help preserve this beloved nation of ours; other-wise our honored dead will have died in vain. What they gained for us mayone day be lest, unless we remain alert, strong and ready on short noticeto take up arme again and fight, as we once did, for the preservation ofall those things we hold most dear."

He has asked us to carry on and to l_eep_.the faith.

One thousand three hundred and ninety of our comrades made the supreme sacrifLce.Our memories of their feats of valor can never be dimmed. Across the fields,the forests, the streams, and through the towns gloriously they fought, andgloriouslythey fell. General Patton told us that their achievements have addedlustre to the glorioushistory of American arms. Their sacrifices have inspiredus to higher achievement, to a greater patriotism, and to the unceasing supportof the principles of liberty and right for which they died.

Now we are met to remember. Let us firmly resolve that we Shall accept t_heritage bequeathed to us by General Twaddle and our comrades who fell in actL@n,that we shall not forget, but that we will carry on and keep the faith.
