Wayne's Journal

Monday

Wayne arrived safely in the United States. His voyage appears to have been uneventful, but it was not without peril. Japanese submarines still lurked in the Pacific.

His port of arrival is unknown. After processing, he is shipped by train to Fort Logan¹ outside of Denver, Colorado.

Wayne is just one part of a mass of men and women being shipped to and from harm’s way.

Notes & Commentary

¹ Located eight miles southwest of downtown Denver, Fort Logan was an active Army base from 1887 until it was closed in 1946. It is now the site of Fort Logan National Cemetery.
