PAYING TRIBUTE TO WALTER WAYNE THOMPSON, JR. -- HON. SCOTT McINNIS (Extensions of Remarks - November 29, 2001)
[Page: E2177] GPO's PDF
---
HON. SCOTT McINNIS
OF COLORADO
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, November 29, 2001
* Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Walter Wayne Thompson Jr. and thank him for his service to this country. Walter began his service as a sailor in 1941, joining the Navy at the age of eighteen. By the end of his service, Walter had served on two ships involved in several famous and infamous battles in the Pacific theater.
* Walter served on the U.S.S. Hornet as a stenographer to the ship's Captain While serving on the ship, Wayne was present for the launching of the famous Doolittle Raid, America's first strike at the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. Following the raid, the Hornet engaged in the Battle of Midway, a battle considered a turning point in the war that stopped the Japanese fleet from controlling Hawaii.
* Following Midway, the Japanese focused on the island of Guadalcanal. Here the Hornet's crew found itself tasked with the role of defending the island alone after Allied naval forces sustained heavy losses. After Guadalcanal, the crew fought in the Battle of Santa Cruz in an attempt to weaken Japanese defensive forces for an invasion of the island.
* The Battle of Santa Cruz was to be the final engagement for the Hornet. The carrier was attacked and sunk by enemy forces and her crew rescued by the U.S.S. Anderson. After living through the travesty, Wayne finished his service aboard the U.S.S. Lexington, where he served until the end of the war. Following his discharge, he returned to his native state of Missouri and became a Baptist Minister. He served the ministry for over forty years before retiring in Montrose, Colorado.
* Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to recognize Walter Wayne Thompson Jr. and thank him for his service during World War II. If not for dedicated citizens like Wayne, we would not enjoy the many freedoms we have today. Wayne Thompson served selflessly in a time of great need, bringing credit to himself and to this great nation. -
