Lewis Nixon set his couch on fire the morning of Dick's birthday. It made the front page news, right under an article about Eisenhower. (House was renumbered, it's now 37 Southern Way. Also his Uncle Joel P. Nixon was managing editor for this paper the prior year, last time listed in this position is May 3, 1952. He may have already moved to NYC to take on the job with Cavalcade of Sports because he is not listed as editor in this issue. It is possible his former coworkers knew this was his nephew and contacted him with the news. )

This is the tenth year that Dick could have spent his birthday near Nix. Dick said he met Nix at OCS, and that OCS was a 13 week course, they graduated July 2, 1942. Dick says he started OCS April 7th. (Beyond) Making 1943 the first year they could have celebrated Dick's birthday together, and this couch burning date as the 10 year anniversary of that.

Dick is called back for Korean War Service in 1951 but ended up with a six month deferment and reported in Jan 3, 1952. He was at Fort Dix, so he could got home on weekends. Now in Sept 1952 he was told he was getting deployed, sent west and Sept 22 1952 resigned his commission and went back home. (Nix's birthday is Sept 30, btw, something Dick mentions immediately when introducing Nix in his book when everyone else has been idiot with *insert hair color*. It's important to him.). (Biggest Brother) He resigns on Sept 22nd, is given separation pay and travel expenses. There is a difference between Separation and Discharge in the Army- mainly time and paperwork. Considering he was given his separation pay and money to travel, it stands to reason he was free to go home because the government doesn't exactly give you money freely. The paperwork for official discharge can take 30 days to 6 months.

From Dick's paperwork in his Personal File- He was recalled from active duty and will revert to inactive status on Sept 22, 1952.

Dick was more than likely working at Johnson and Johnson at this point. According to Beyond, his GM spot was filled and Nix gave him severance pay and a car.

Was Lewis Nixon up late/early smoking? This morning, specifically, he sets his couch on fire with that lit cigarette on his best friend's birthday.

Happy Birthday Dick Winters!

According to Derek, Roe's grandson, Roe had "this weird calm about him." That "you could cause serious mayhem at Grandpa's place, but it just didn't matter to him."

(Kyle is another grandson of Roe's)

So, I've seen others discuss the guys being incredibly protective of Roe, and I'm a big supporter of that take.

Docs attached to units are the ones you don’t fuck with beyond banter, lighthearted pranks, and occasional stubbornness when it comes to medical care to make their jobs harder (lovingly). But soldiers will straight-up fuck somebody up, even one of our own, if anyone so much as tries to harm or genuinely disrespect our medics. They don’t just keep us alive and healthy; their presence is grounding and emotionally healing. They offer a sense of security, of feeling protected and comforted, like you fuckin' matter and are worth being alive, which means the world when we're at our lowest, when we don't have anybody else because we're away from our loved ones.

People like Roe are everything. They keep us whole. Without them, we crumble, fall apart piece by piece. They’ve got to be some of the strongest mfs, mentally and physically, to carry that kind of weight, especially for someone as young as him. So yeah, if anyone messed or even thought about messing with Roe? It’d be on sight, no hesitation. And if something ever happened to him, the others would break, shatter in some way or another, because he’s not just vital to the unit professionally. He’s the glue that holds them together, personally. They live, breathe, and fight because of what he gives them.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

“Frolic at the Front”

It’s a festive occasion at the Italian front as the guys and gals drag out a portable phonograph and cut a figurative rug on foreign soil. At left, dancing with Lois Berney of Fallon, Nevada, is PFC Clyde Burgess of Toccoa, Georgia. Dancing at right are Mary Ross Moen of Onawa, Iowa, and Pvt. William Maderra of Rayland, Ohio. The girls are Red Cross workers whose job is to boost the morale of Fifth Army men.
