Dear Deanna!
My best friend has becom e a rude
and arrogant person and I'm be­
ing affected. She has a nasty per­
sonality and people have stopped
being friends with me because
they think I’m like her. We have a
15 year friendship and it’s not
that easy to end things. I feel torn
betw een tw o evils and it’s caus­
ing me stress. W hat is the best
way to handle this dilem m a? —

Oregon’s Lost
World War II Hero
E d ito r ’s note: Thanks to

story:
One of Oregon’s most im­
portant World War II stories
celebrates its 60th anniversary
this year in a tradition of obscu­
rity because no one is certain
the exact location of where it
happened.
The soldiers who played out
this dram a were paratroopers
from the 555th Parachute In­
fantry Battalion, the first and
only African Am erican para­
troop battalion in American
history.
A lso called “The T riple
Nickles” the battalion served
the U.S. Army from 1944-47.
They came to Pendleton, Ore.
during the w ar to work as
smokejumpers but their mission
was closely tied to the increas­
ing threat of Japanese incendi­
ary bombs dropped in the for­
ests by balloons.
Malvin Brown was a medic
who on Aug. 6,1945 parachuted
into the forest with other sol­
diers from the 555th to fight one
of many fires started all over
southwest Oregon by a massive
lightning storm.
As he approached the ground
his parachute was snared by a
tall pine tree leaving him hang­
ing a hundred or more feet above
the ground. He fell to his death
trying to get down and in that
m om ent becam e the first
smokejumper death in Ameri­
can history.
It was in the defense of our
nation that a smokejumper lost
his life and that smokejumper
was Brown, an African Ameri­
can soldier who died for his
country in the Cascade Moun­
tains of Oregon.
To this day, no marker or
monument commemorates this
important moment in World War
Two history, a reminder of how
easily we all forget the sacri­
fices made by Americans on
the home front.
