World War II veteran Jim Czarnicki regales a University ROTC class with tales from his service in the Army.
WWII veterans return to campus
■ Al Rogers and Jim
Czarnicki visits the ROTC
class and shars anecdotes
By Adam Jude
lor the Emerald
Students in the University’s
ROTC program got a glimpse of his
tory Thursday when two World
War II veterans visited their class.
In correlation with the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, Al Rogers, Jim
Czarnicki and other veterans have
been speaking to many students
throughout the Eugene area for the
past five years. Their goal is to not
only shed light on the reality of
wartime affairs, but to promote
freedom as well.
Along with memorabilia and
pictures they collected during
their service, Rogers and Czarnicki
presented some frightening details
of events they encountered more
than a half-century ago. As an
Army soldier serving in Europe
when he was just 17 years old,
r
Czarnicki viewed a Nazi concen
tration camp first hand.
“I had nightmares for years
about that,” he told the class.
“More than anything [the camp]
was an experimental place—they
cut off every body part you could
think of. I couldn’t believe it. Af
ter that day, I grew up in a hurry. ”
Rogers, who served in the Navy,
fought in the South Pacific on the
USS Lexington during 1943 and
1944 . The Lexington was the vic
tim of a Japanese kamikaze hit that
destroyed the control tower. In ad
dition, Rogers survived several
torpedo hits to the carrier.
“When you’re first under fire, it
gets your attention. All kinds of
thoughts go through your mind,”
Rogers said.
VFW Eugene post Cmdr. Nick
Urhausen said the presentations are
to give students a better understand
ing of what they went through.
Sgt. Jonathan Dinsmore, the
ROTC instructor and VFW mem
ber, said that once he heard of the
veterans’ work in classrooms, he
wanted his class to hear them.
“They’re a great asset. What
they said will probably come to
play in my class and in the mili
tary history class,” he said.
Part of that asset comes from
their fascinating stories. Czarnic
ki, a Polish orphan who immigrat
ed to Chicago at a young age,
joined the Army to support him
self and his younger sister. At best,
he made $46 a month during the
war. While in Europe, he handled
the machine gun on a tank in the
Hellcat squadron.
Rogers attended the University
for two years following the war
and recalls the extreme competi
tion for a space in classrooms.
“It was tough,” he said. “If you
couldn’t cut it, someone else was
there to take your seat.”
“A lot of people have heroes, like
athletes and movie stars,” ROTC
student Matt Glem said. “But seeing
these guys in the flesh and blood,
they’re the real heroes,”
