Robert “Bob” Parenti knows a lot about war. He served in the Ar-my’s 8th Armored Division during World War II. He’d seen a lot of war. He also knows a lot about love. “When you’re over there, you’re

alone,” he said. “You frequently have the feeling you’re neglected. Here I’m fighting a war. Why? Is she thinking about me?” Turned out that back home Lau-

rie Sullivan was thinking about her sweetheart off in Europe fighting a war. She was thinking about him all the time. They’d

met in 1943 at a USO event, and wrote many letters back and forth. What Parenti didn’t know was that she was saving his letters from the front. The couple married in 1946. Then came life, children, ca-

reers. “I just found these letters for

the first time a couple years ago,” Parenti said. “She saved them. I didn’t know it until years later. I was going to throw them out, and she said, ‘No. Those are my letters.’” Parenti said that when reading

the letters he vividly remembers where and when he wrote them.

Remembering war through love letters

A surprising discovery at the WWII Museum

When an Indiana woman went to the National World War II Muse-um in New Orleans earlier this year, she hoped she might see a display or photos depicting her high school sweetheart, a Marine who was killed in the war.Instead, Laura Mae Davis Burl-

ingame discovered the diary

in which Cpl. Thomas “Cotton” Jones wrote about her, the Asso-ciated Press reports.“I didn’t have any idea there

was a diary in there,” said the 90-year-old Mooresville, Ind., woman.Before he was killed by a Japa-

nese sniper’s bullet, Jones’ last request was for whoever found the diary to return it to the girl he loved. He died on Sept. 17, 1944,

Veteran Voice is a weekly publication designed to provide information to and about veterans to veterans and to the broader community. Veterans are an integral part of their Florida communities, which currently have individual organizations of their own, such as the Veter-ans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Vietnam Veterans of America and many other groups with a nar-row focus, but no convenient way to connect to a wider population of veterans and to the community in general within a limited geographic area, their community. The mission of Veteran Voice is to publish a weekly source of information that will provide, in one place, a listing of resources available to veterans, articles about changes in policies or organizations affecting veterans and events of interest to veterans as well as articles about veterans of interest to the general public. Veteran Voice LLC is organized as a partnership of experienced newspaper executives with an interest in veterans and in the communities of Florida veterans and friends. Veteran Voice is a start-up intended to ad-dress a perceived lack of information readily available to veterans on programs and policies affecting them and objective reporting of veteran affairs to the public.To our knowledge, and based on comments from lead-ers of local veterans organizations, there was no media or website currently meeting this need until the launch of Veteran Voice. We hope you agree, and will support this publica-tion with your subscription. Without subscriptions there will be a limited number of people we can help, without which this mission will not be realized. As part of our commitment to supporting local veteran communities, we will donate 10 percent of our profits each quarter to qualified veteran charities recommended by you, our readers and subscribers. Please let us know what you think by emailing [email protected] or mailing your comments to us at 1919 S.W. South Macedo Blvd., Port St. Lucie, FL 34984.

the third day of the U.S. assault on the Pacific island of Peleliu (now Palau). When Jones went off to war, he and Burlingame (then Davis) were a couple, but were not engaged.Burlingame isn’t sure why she

never received the diary. It had been sent to Jones’ sister. His artifacts were donated to the mu-seum in 2001.Curator Eric Rivet let her take a

closer look, using white gloves to protect the old paper from skin oils.“I’ve never experienced any-

thing quite like this,” Rivet said. “I’ve met other peop1e who were connected to museum artifacts, but they knew the artifacts were there. To meet someone who had no idea that they were featured in an artifact on display was a unique experience for me. But it was truly a pleasure to meet Lau-ra Mae and to witness the event unfold.”Jones’ last entry written aboard

USS Maui on Dec. 1, 1943, de-

scribes winning $200 at craps. He had a total of $320,he writes, and if he were back

home, “Laura Mae & I would really have a wonderful X-mas.” He wondered if he could wire the money to her as a Christmas present.The museum provided Burlin-

game with a copy of the diary, after she insisted the original stay there.A photograph of Burlingame fills

nearly all of the diary’s 4-by-7-inch back cover. The picture itself is black-and-white, but the pho-tographer had tinted her cheeks pink and her lips dark red. She signed the photo, “Love, Laurie.”

Domenick Scarlato served in the U.S. Navy on active duty from 1944-48 and later in the Naval Reserve and National Guard. He holds a doctorate of education and because of his work in special education, has been involved in an advisory capacity while chang-es to national mental health care policies occurred over the last 50 years. He has been a St. Lucie West resident for 14 years.

United States.“Do we want veterans? Abso-

lutely,” Panayiotou said. “Our main goal is to increase veter-ans’ awareness about our pro-grams, especially vets returning from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who are seeking a way forward after their service.” Those veterans who have

experience in electronics may be able to opt out of many of the college credits necessary for completion of either a certifi-cate (the 12-month program) or an associate degree (a two-year program), Panayioutou said. “One of our students, Will

Keiser, is a Navy veteran, and he was so well-qualified he now works for us as a part-time lab assistant,” he said. To earn a certificate in laser

and photonics, students take two basic electronic classes and two classes in laser and pho-tonics. Associate degree-seekers

must complete five classes in mathematics and general education (such as humanities) and eight classes in core elec-tronics. Additionally, students receive complete hands-on training in a laboratory envi-ronment, so they can use their skills “immediately after they’re finished,” Panayiotou said. “But remember, if we have

vets with previous experience, we give credit for courses based on their experience.” Panayiotou said the need

for skilled laser and fiber-optic technicians is high, and that there are many companies ea-ger to hire the right people. “It’s a very satisfying job that

earns a very good income,” he said. Besides attracting and train-

ing vets, LASER-TEC’s other key goals include (from la-ser-tec.org): • Assist colleges with existing

laser and fiber-optic programs by providing support, profes-sional development, and equip-ment. • Assist colleges without laser

and fiber-optic programs to create courses and programs by providing startup support. • Provide professional devel-

opment for K-12 STEM teachers to bring laser and fiber-optic career awareness to students to create a high-school-to-college student pipeline.• Develop, expand, and

strengthen partnerships be-tween laser and fiber-optic industries and all regional colleges. • Expand the membership of

the Industrial Advisory Board, and monitor the supply, de-mand, and skill-set needed by laser and fiber-optic techni-cians in the southeast region through a strong Industrial Advisory Board.

Anyone wishing to learn more about LASER-TEC and what it can offer veterans should contact Veronica Martabano at (772) 462-7446.

He also vividly recalls what was happening. What horrors and inconveniences of war were going on the days he put pen to paper to talk to his sweetie. “These letters bring memories

up I’m not comfortable with,” he said. But, the letters Laurie saved and

wouldn’t let Parenti throw out are the thread for his 2013 book, “A Story of Love and War: World War AII Recollections From Letters Written To a Soldier’s Sweet-heart.” When he was 18, Parenti signed

up for an officer-preparation pro-gram and attended the University of Detroit. The military terminat-ed the program 10 months later. The would-be future Lt. Parenti suddenly found himself a private heading to Europe. “I had a grudge,” he said. “I was

not a good soldier.”Grudge or not, Parenti had a

girl back home. He said officers censored many of his letters to her. And he wasn’t allowed to keep but a few from her. Still, pen to paper on the hope that Lau-

rie would read those words gave Parenti a place to simultaneously discuss love and war. “I was able to get my feelings

out,” he said.Of course, there was the getting

letters part, too. Mail call. “The soldiers would rush around

that jeep,” he said. “If they didn’t get one, I’d seen them break down.” Parenti said expressions of love

from wars teach us much about our humanity. He said that he once quoted to Laurie from a letter Napoleon Bonaparte wrote Josephine de Beauharnais from a battlefield. “The letters going today from

soldiers are the same as the ones I wrote,” Parenti said. “It’s phe-nomenal.” He said the words found in sol-

diers’ letters throughout history make something clear about love and war. “The last thing a soldier thinks

about is not up there,” Paren-ti said, pointing skyward. “It’s about his momma and sweet-heart.”To find out more about Parenti

It’s quiet, but it’s influential. Behind the scenes, it has accom-plished big things. Mostly what it wants to accomplish is helping to honor veterans. It is The Patterson Foundation.

And, perhaps, helping honor veterans is an understatement. In addition to a huge project it’s about to complete, it wants to help many others help veterans.A large, new ceremonial center

being called the Patriot Plaza at Sarasota National Cemetery is halfway through construction – the final stainless-steel structural pieces were lifted into place Jan. 17. The dedication is planned for

June 28 this year. It’s a perfect example of how

individual foundations or groups can help honor veterans at na-tional cemeteries in large and

small ways — and The Patterson Foundation wants to spread the word on how it can be done.It has developed a model of how

communities can partner with national cemeteries to achieve a beautiful and lasting legacy honoring veterans, according to Debra Jacobs, The Patterson Foundation CEO. “Think of us as a demonstration

project,” Jacobs said, noting that Patterson is the first foundation to work with a national cemetery in partnership with the Veterans Administration.“There are 131 national ceme-

teries in the U.S.,” Jacobs said. “But only 12 percent of veterans choose to be buried in one. Why is that? “Two reasons: Either they’re

not aware they exist, or they feel they don’t qualify. The truth is, you don’t have to die in service to qualify,” she said. As a matter of fact, she said, the

unclaimed remains of a Civil War veteran were buried in a national cemetery years after he died. Jacobs said she’s keen to get

the word out to other groups in-terested in honoring veterans by helping national cemeteries.“Maybe someone would like

to see a carillon installed, or a walking path, but they don’t quite

know how to go about it,” she said. “The Patterson Foundation can definitely help guide them through the process.” Noting that Brevard County

is in the process of building its own national cemetery, Jacobs said that “we’re documenting our experience to assist others in communities like Brevard, and we can offer good insight” on how best to see national cemetery projects through. The origin of Patterson’s sup-

port of the national cemetery at Sarasota is fascinating.

It was born “because we wanted to honor the legacy of our original wealth,” Jacobs said.“It goes back to Joseph Nedill,

who originally bought The Chi-cago Tribune in the 1880s as a way to help Abraham Lincoln win election,” she recounted.“In Lincoln’s second Inaugural

Address, he urged the honoring of those who served, and their widows and families. And that’s where the inspiration began.”It took many years, but soon

Sarasota National Cemetery’s Pa-triot Plaza will grace the city and honor veterans in a big way.The Plaza will feature 48,000

square feet of walkways and gath-ering areas; several areas con-taining specially commissioned art pieces; an 80-foot flagpole; a 20,800-square-foot glass roof over the amphitheater; a rostrum the size of one and a half tennis courts, with seating for a 55-piece orchestra, and seating for 2,800 people (thepattersonfoundation.org). The June 28 dedication will

be open to the public. Indeed, Jacobs said, it is contrary to national cemetery rules to charge admission, or to refuse the public admittance in any way. Jacobs said she’s honored

herself to be a part of the proj-ect, and stressed that others who have the wish to assist in similar projects with their national ceme-teries can consider The Patterson Foundation a valuable resource for information. She stressed that Patterson will

not fund other, similar projects – rather, the foundation is ready to provide guidance on how to go through the process from start to finish. “Think of it this way,” Jacobs

said. “Government funds — good. Philanthropy and generosity fund imaginative excellence.”

Those interested in receiving guidance (again, not funding) can contact The Patterson Founda-tion’s head of military initiatives, Sandy Beckley, at [email protected].

8 • JANUARY 31, 2014 • VETERAN VOICE • THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE

Veteran Voice is committed to producing the best newspaper we can and delivering it to you in an efficient, affordable man-ner. Because of the geographic area covered by Veteran Voice with a limited circulation, the only viable delivery option is the U.S. Postal Service. For the first six months we used first-class mail, which is prohibi-tively expensive. During that time, we worked toward quali-fying for a second class rate, or Periodicals postage, which was established by Congress in the 1700s to facilitate delivery of newspapers by providing first- class mail service at close to third-class, or bulk rate, prices. The regulations are stringent and complex, but the presumed benefits make the effort worth-while. All subscribers now receive

their weekly Veteran Voice via USPS Periodicals Permit deliv-ery. As the newspaper is deliv-ered to the post office Wednes-day afternoon, any subscribers in our coverage area from Brevard through Martin coun-ties should receive the current

issue by Friday, or at the latest Saturday, and many do. Due to feedback we have re-

ceived concerning some delivery delays, we have spoken with the postmaster at our entry post office, and have registered for ePublication Watch, a USPS periodicals tracking service. From what we have determined so far, it appears that deliv-ery problems are sporadic and probably related to individual post offices or even carriers. If you experience delivery prob-lems, please email us at [email protected] or drop us a note at the St. Lucie office and let us know the volume and issue or the publication date along with the date you received it, plus your name, and we will try to iden-tify where the bottlenecks may be occurring. Thanks for your help in assuring that all our subscribers receive their Vet-eran Voice on time. If you have any comments/compliments/complaints or suggestions, please let us know that, too.

Ted Wilson, publisher

Is your Veteran Voice delivered on time?

A decade on, the “World War II Film Series” at Stuart’s Blake Library is still pulling ‘em in.“This is the 11th year,” Carl

“Captain” Keske, said. “I do it every year, normally 10 weeks long.” On Wednesday, Jan. 22, about

200 were on hand to see “Ven-geance at Midway.” Many ap-peared to be World War II vet-erans, such as Seabee John Pereira, Stuart. “We saw them all last year,” he

said. “For the history. It’s inter-esting history.” Pereira was in the South Pacific

1943 to 1945. He was in Opera-tion Iceberg, the 82-day Battle of Okinawa. “I haven’t got a scratch,” he said.

“I’d do it all over.” But there are plenty of younger

folks on hand for history lessons, too. Karen Laake recently discov-ered the program. “This one is the second one,”

Laake said. “We’ll come back again. Abbigail is homeschooled.” Ah, yes, daughter Abbigail Bire-

ly, 13. What’s it like for her sit-ting in a room full of World War II veterans? “It’s kind of weird in a way, but

I feel honored in some aspects,” she said.

Abbigail hasn’t approached them for conversation yet, but plans to. Keske said the annual film

program started when his wife, Carol, was volunteering at Blake Library. One of the program directors brought up the idea of a men’s book club. Carol kind-ly and eagerly volunteered Carl to start one. Most folks call him “Captain,” by the way. That’s be-cause he served in the Navy from ‘55 to ‘85. When he retired, he was — well, he was a captain. Keske was stuck by Carol’s vol-

unteerism, but he had an idea. How about instead of a men’s book club doing a multi-week educational series of World War II videos? “I told (the program director) I

could put on a program called ‘Band of Brothers,’” Keske said.Sold. The 2001 television miniseries

was broken into 10 episodes, so the program ranged over 10 weeks. The series featured Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infan-try Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. Funny thing happened. Keske

figured a dozen or so would show up to the program. Yeah. Hun-dreds did. “There’s a great following,” Keske

said. “People really like World War II stuff, so that’s what I do.”

Keske said he tries to read up on subjects covered each week, so he can speak well about them. Sometimes, he does trivia ques-tions and gives prizes. “I have World War II books,” he

said. “I just give them away. I have limited space in my library. That’s how that works.” And other times, everyone gets a

treat — some World War II veter-ans show up who were in the bat-tles discussed in the videos and are willing to share their stories. One time, that was Stuart’s Bob Parenti, author of “A Story of Love and War: World War All Recollec-tions From Letters Written To a Soldier’s Sweetheart.”

“One year, a guy was in the Battle of the Bulge, he brought (and read) letters he’d written to his wife during the battle,” Keske said.This year, Captain is presenting

the History Channel series “Battle 360.” The presentations are 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays and free to attend. On deck are “Bloody Santa

Cruz,” Feb. 5, “Enterprise ver-sus Japan,” Feb. 12, “The Grey Ghost,” Feb. 19, “Hammer of Hell,” Feb. 26, “D-Day in the Pacific,” March 5, “Battle of Leyte Gulf,” March 12, and “The Em-pire’s Last Stand,” March 19.Blake Library is at 2351 S.E.

WWII from page 8

Warbird Museum adds new aircraftto its fleetThe Valiant Air Command is

pleased to announce the addition of a Douglas A-4C Skyhawk to its Warbird collection. The aircraft flew into the Space Coast Region-al Airport recently.The Skyhawk is a highly re-

garded US Navy attack aircraft. Originally deployed in the 1950’s, the Skyhawk played a vital role in the Vietnam conflict. It proved amenable to new missions as an advanced pilot trainer, and even equipped the US Navy aerial demonstration team, the Blue An-gels, for a decade. Its lively flying

characteristics and small size made it popular as an “adver-sary” trainer, teaching US Navy and other services’ pilots the kind of maneuvers they might have to employ against our potential adversaries’ small, maneuverable fighters.This A-4C is fully airworthy,

and is a frequent performer in airshows and other events across the nation. It will be on display in the Vietnam hangar of the Val-iant Air Command, at 6600 TICO Road, Titusville, FL 32780.

For additional information contact the Valiant Air Command at (321) 268-1941.
