I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereAfter several months talking about the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii, this week we return full time to Arlington. For the next two podcasts I will be talking about someone I have wanted to cover for some time. That desire was rekindled when I saw the exhibit on him at the National Museum of the United States Air Force this summer in Dayton, OH - Big Band superstar Glenn Miller. In less than five short years, Miller produced 121 singles, 69 Billboard hits, including 13 #1 hits.The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and recorded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catalogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.As always, a very special thanks to the Commando Pando Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!For more information about the podcast visit: ·       The GoA website: https://www.ghostsofarlingtonpodcast.com    ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofarlingtonpodcast·       Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArlingtonGhosts·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghostsofarlington/

This week, everyone's worst fears come true and Ernie Pyle's luck runs out. He lands with the Marines on Okinawa, a short time after the start of the bloodiest battle of World War II, but all of the 100,000 Japanese defenders had moved inland and did not oppose the landing. After a few uneventful days with the Marines, Pyle returned to a command ship, wrote 20 articles, learned of and mourned the passing of US President Franklin Roosevelt, and penned a draft of his thoughts on the end of the war in Europe, which everyone knew would happen any day now.After finishing his draft, he went ashore with soldiers from the 77th Army Division on an island just north of Okinawa, called Ie Shima, where his death was quick, unexpected, and devastating for everyone.This week's Ghosts of Arlington is Navy Seaman 3rd Class Ernest Taylor Pyle who is interred at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Section D, Grave 109.The Ghosts of the Pacific Theme is Ukulele and Love Birds by emjaydabayou, with a few Waves of Hawaii added for ambiance.The Ghosts of the Pacific Transition music are some Uke Chords by turkitron.As always, a very special thanks to Mountain Up Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!For more information about the podcast visit: ·       The GoA website: https://www.ghostsofarlingtonpodcast.com    ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofarlingtonpodcast·       Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArlingtonGhosts·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghostsofarlington/

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Tuesday, May 10. It is going to be warm again Tuesday, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. According to the National Weather Service it will be partly sunny with a high near 87 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. There will be a 20 percent chance for showers after 1 p.m. and continuing through Wednesday. The low should be around 68 degrees. With no news Monday on the disappearance of city employee Erik Spaw, his mother offered a possible explanation of what might have happened, and why his assigned waterworks fleet pickup was found submerged in the Cedar River on Saturday. Karen Spaw, 88, of Cedar Rapids, told The Gazette on Monday that her 54-year-old son has Type 1 diabetes and may have passed out from low blood sugar and driven into the river. Her son, she said, had been having a hard time regulating his blood sugar and insulin intake recently and that his blood sugar had dropped dangerously low several times. Crews continued searching the river for Spaw on Monday, using boats and a K-9 officer. They reported having no updates on day 3 of the search.  Spaw, who has worked for the city for more than 20 years according to his mother, worked a Friday evening shift at the Northwest Water Treatment Plant. The unoccupied water department fleet pickup assigned to Spaw was later found in the river near Ellis Road NW on Saturday. A Navy seaman from Independence who was killed in the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor will finally be laid to rest in Iowa this Saturday. David F. Tidball, 20, a seaman first class, was on the USS Oklahoma, which sustained multiple torpedo hits, causing it to capsize. His body was recently identified by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, and he will be buried at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Mount Hope Cemetery in Independence. The graveside service will be open to the public. When Tidball died, he was survived by his parents and three siblings. Only nieces and nephews remain to commemorate him, according to hhttps://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/wcfcourier/name/david-tidball-obituary?id=34614995 (is obituary.) Tidball was one of 429 USS Oklahoma crewmen who died, all of whom were buried in the Halawa and Nu'uanu cemeteries, according to a news release from the https://www.dpaa.mil/News-Stories/News-Releases/PressReleaseArticleView/Article/2663096/uss-oklahoma-sailor-accounted-for-from-world-war-ii-tidball-d/ (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency). The remains of the seamen were disinterred in 1947, when the American Graves Registration Service was assigned to recover and identify fallen U.S. military personnel in the Pacific Theater. The bodies were brought to the Central Identification Laboratory, where 35 men from the USS Oklahoma were identified. The rest, including Tidball, were buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. Their remains were classified as non-recoverable. The Biden administration announced on Monday that 20 internet companies including Mediacom, have agreed to provide discounted service to low-income Americans, a program that could effectively make tens of millions of households eligible for free service through an already existing federal subsidy. According to the Associated Press, thttps://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-congress-infrastructure-bill-signing-b5b8cca843133de060778f049861b144 (he $1 trillion infrastructure package) passed by Congress last year included $14.2 billion funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides $30 monthly subsidies ($75 in tribal areas) on internet service for millions of lower-income households. With the new commitment from the internet providers, some 48 million households will be eligible for $30 monthly plans for 100 megabits per second, or higher speed, service — making internet service fully paid for with the government subsidy if they sign up with one of the providers...

The Memorial Day ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl was small, with just a few dignitaries and other guests, but was nonetheless a fitting tribute to veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We continue our series on the Duty to Remember by once again welcoming special guest, Dr. Jennie Jin, a forensic anthropologist who works for the DPAA (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency). Last week, in Part 1 of this interview, Dr. Jin talked about her work as leader of the Korean War Identification Project of the DPAA. She discussed the circumstances surrounding the recent identification of PFC John Shelemba of Hamtramck, Michigan. In dialogue with PFC Shelemba's niece, Michele Vance, Dr. Jin explained why the remains known as “X-251 Taejon” were disinterred from the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, and how, through various methods, were determined to be PFC Shelemba. In this show, Dr. Jin discusses another recent identification of Michigander SFC Jesse “Johnnie” Hill of Highland Park. Rather than being disinterred from the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, the remains of SFC Hill were handed over by the DPRK (North Korea) in 2018 pursuant to an agreement between President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un. In this show, we discuss SFC Hill's identification and how the Korean War Identification Project not only impacts families, but also political cooperation amongst the U.S. and the two Koreas.

Episode 2 described the Battle of Tarawa fought between Japan and the United States during World War II.  Over 1,000 U.S. servicemen were killed during the battle but the bodies of only 532 were recovered from 41 different cemeteries on Tarawa after the war, including 282 who were initially unidentified and classified as "Unknown".  The episode discusses the continuing efforts to locate, recover, and identify over 500 missing American servicemen from this battle including the efforts of the Chief Rick Stone and Family Charitable Foundation to help identify over 100 "Unknowns" from the Battle of Tarawa who are buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (also known as the "Punchbowl") in Honolulu, Hawaii.

This Week at VA episode 16 features Air Force Veteran Jim Horton. Jim currently serves as the Director for the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. Jim served in the Air Force as a pilot. He never planned to give the military nearly three decades of his life, but new opportunities presented themselves and he kept adding on the years. I met with Jim in his office at the national cemetery in Honolulu, which is affectionately called "The Punchbowl" as it sits in a crater on the island of Oahu. Jim has hosted many dignitaries at the cemetery, including former a former Secretary of Defense and Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. As Jim mentions in his interview, the honor in working at the cemetery is serving the veterans that lay to rest there and the loved ones that come to visit them.
