Combined operations with Americans trap large enemy garrisons in drive towards Philippines. There is only one excuse for telling There is only one excuse for telling Helen Conner's story "MY FATHER was born in Russia but he came to America years ago. With my brothers Al and Mike, I was brought up as a good American. "When I was in my teens I met a handsome young Navy man at a Shriners' convention in San Francisco. His name was Bryan Conner. It was love at first sight—and you know the reputation of the Navy for action. Bryan proposed that night. He didn't know when we could marry because he had to get right back to his destroyer. But we weren't going to wait. "I rented a motor boat, went out to the destroyer and talked to the captain. In five minutes Bryan was on his way back to shore and we were married. "As time passed we had a fine baby boy. We named him William. By the time Bill was growing into young manhood my husband was assigned to recruiting service in Atlanta. He and Bill had great times hunting and fishing together. We were a happy family. My two brothers visited us often and we'd have the jolliest parties and picnics. "Then the war started in Europe. Our son came to us one night and explained how he felt about it. He wanted to be prepared so he enlisted. "Like any mother I hated him to leave home—but I couldn't stand in his way. Bill joined up. "Pearl Harbor was more than my husband could take. He had lots of friends on the Arizona, the Utah, and other ships. He was 48 years old but he asked for active duty and he got it—on a PT boat in the South Pacific. "My brothers got in too—Al in the Army, Mike in the Seabees. There they were—all four of them in it, my husband and brother Mike in the Pacific; my son and brother Al in Africa. "I had to do something. So I went to welding school. After I finished school I taught welding. My thoughts were always with my husband, my son, and my brothers. I was working for them. I was living for their return. On June 30th of last year I opened this telegram: The Secretary of War desires that I tender his deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your son. Deeply regret to inform you that your brother, Michael Zadorkin, was killed in action in performance of his duty and in the service of his country in the South Pacific on July 2, 1943. "On July 8th I read: The Secretary of War desires that I tender his deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your brother, Allan Zadorkin. Report received states he was killed in action on July 6th, 1943. "Some time later I saw my husband. He was as shocked as I was about the death of our only son and my two brothers. But he was all the more determined to fight on. "I remember seeing him off. It was at a submarine base in Florida. At two in the morning. There was a light mist over the harbor. I kissed my husband and he went aboard his PT boat. I watched him as long as I could see him waving good-bye. "It wasn't many weeks later that I opened a final message: Deeply regret to inform you your husband, William Jennings Bryan Conner was killed in action in performance of his duty and in the service of his country. "I am not asking for pity. Not even sympathy. My men died the way they would have liked to die—fighting. We must carry on their fight. "I won't be meeting my boy or my husband or my brothers again, but I want to see to it that other women get their men back. "The last thing my husband wrote me was: 'Keep up the good work at the bomber plant.' That's what I am doing... welding and riveting. And I'm going to keep on doing it as long as I can stand on my two feet. I am going to stay at my job. I am going to buy War Bonds. I'm not licked and I never will be. I'm going to live to see that day—that great day—when our enemies are made to pay in full for the lives they have taken away from all of us." That is Helen Conner's story. Her tragedy is made public here only because it makes this fact crystal-clear: a war can be won only by sacrifice." My brothers got in too—Al in the Army, Mike in the Seabees. There they were—all four of them in it, my husband and brother Mike in the Pacific; my son and brother Al in Africa. "I had to do something. So I went to welding school. After I finished school I taught welding. My thoughts were always with my husband, my son, and my brothers. I was working for them. I was living for their return. On June 30th of last year I opened this telegram: The Secretary of War desires that I tender his deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your son. Report received states that he was killed in action on June 28th in the North African Theatre of War.
