...third and last bomb drop was on the northwest corner of an Earle M. Jorgensen steel company building in Los Angeles. This was an important run for Major Holguin.

As air police officer of the 546th Ammunition Supply Squadron at Naha air base, I made use of 15 German police dogs that performed guard or sentry duty. These dogs were a major factor in reducing pilferage on the depot. The shipments of dog food arrived at intervals of two to three months and were intended to cover our needs for a like period.
