On this Veteran's Day 2018 my thoughts are directed to the subject of my first book, Senator Harry P. Cain of Washington. Cain was a newspaperman, civic booster, mayor of Tacoma, U.S. senator, chairman of the Subversive Activities Control Board in the 1950s and a member of the Miami-Dade Commission for 20 year years.
Can was always interested in the military. He was the first sitting mayor to be recruited to the army's new military government arm. He landed on the beach at Salerno in 1943, served as deputy G-5 on Ike's staff in London and as G-5 of Matthew Ridgeway's 18th Airborne Corps as they invaded Germany at the end of the war. Cain was wounded din action on the last day of the war. We are all better off because off his service.
Seven chapters into my new book (with Robert L. Ferguson). Two more to go. It will be a short, readable history of the Manhattan Project, Hanford, and the B Reactor. Due out next year.
