12 Capital Journal, Salem, Master Sgt. Massey Celebrates His 25th Year of Army Service Army day Sunday means more to Master Sgt. Thomas Masrey, in charge of the Salem army recruiting office, than to mos: re cruiters. That day marks the 25th anniversary of his enlistment in the U. S. army. Massey, who is still as en thusiastic about the army as he was 25 years ago, signed for duty with Uncle Sam's army in his native state, New York, en listing at Fort Hamilton. His service has included seven and a half years of duty in Hawaii from 1933 to 1941. The sergeant and his wife and two daughters, all of whom now live in Salem, narrowly missed the bombing of Pearl Harbor, being on one of the last ships returning to this country from Hawaii before the Nips struck there. On returning to the states Massey was stationed in Texas then sent to Fort Benning, Ga. where he attended officer train ins school and received his com mission as a second lieutenant in September, 1942. Prior to being assigned here as a recruiter in February, 194b, the sergeant had had duty in Oregon. He had been stationed at Camp Adair as a company commander at the replacement depot being one of the men who came there from Fort Meade, Md., with Gen. F. B. Mallon, when the general took over com mand of the Camp Adair re placement depot. When the re placement depot was moved from Camp Adair, Massey was transferred to Camp Beale, Calif., as captain and granted his terminal leave January 3, 1946. The army, however, called this veteran of so many years service and he reenlistcd Febru ary 6, 1946, as a master ser geant.
