"I was glad I was in it, but I would not
want to do it again:' says Louis Kuretzky,
who served on a Navy aircraft carrier
in the South Pacific during the largest
naval battle of World War II, and argu-
ably of history: the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
"It was 31/2 hours of continuous shelling,
and that was the end of our war:' he
recalls.
Charlie Weiner never got overseas,
but he played clarinet in the U.S. Army
band for two years, playing for the presi-
dent and other dignitaries in concerts to
recruit people for the war effort.
Marty Marx grew up fast when he
landed at Normandy at 18, after the big
battle. He and his company couldn't
unload from their ship because "there
must've been 5,000 dead troops" floating
in the water. "I grew up in the Army,"
he says.
Frank Machlis was grateful when the
atomic bombs fell on Japan. Preparing
to invade Japan on foot, his Marines
unit was told, "Don't plan on coming
back from this invasion; the odds are
against you coming back. When we
heard that the bomb had been dropped
and we didn't have to invade, we were
the happiest men in the world," he says.
Stationed in Manila with the Army
was Arthur Braverman's first introduc-
tion to people outside the United States.
"We learned that people are basically the
same," he says. "I think that's the main
lesson that all of us learned:'
In the Army medical corps, Paul
Fox saved 18 men's lives, earning him

the Purple Heart, Cluster and Medal of
Honor. He appreciates the symbolism of
the number 18, he says.
Lou Linden met his wife on the ship
heading to serve in India in an Army
hospital. Sid Greenberg met a German
prisoner who, when he learned he was
from Detroit, asked in broken English if
he knew Taylor Avenue. The man's sister
had emigrated to the U.S. and lived on
Taylor Avenue; he asked Greenberg to
take her a message that he was alive and
safe, which he did when he got home.
Serving in the infantry in France, Al
Gross jumped into a foxhole when shell-
ing started. "There was a dead German
soldier in there. It was the worst experi-
ence of my life," he says.
Leo Zietchick packed parachutes as
a parachute rigger. He never had to use
one; "Thank God," he says.
Maurice Otis served in the 6th infan-
try post-war, in Berlin. "I am in awe of
these people," he says of World War II
veterans. "The thing I took away from
my time in the service was freedom.
People were jumping off barbed wire to
get out of East Germany, and Russians
were shooting them. It wasn't war or a
combat zone. I was very lucky:'
"Jewish Senior Life is proud that
these outstanding veterans live with us
and enjoy a beautiful quality of life,"
says Carol Rosenberg, director, JSL
Foundation.
