Norene
continued from page 1
did not live to see this
im pressive
monument
com pleted, it w ill stand
forever as a symbol o f
national unity, moral
strength and awesom e
power created by people
who united to preserve
freedom for the United
States and other countries.
Norene is retired
after 43 years as a
veterinarian; the majority of
his practice was in Heppner.
As a patriotic young man
Norene volunteered for the
Army in 1942. W hile
training in Colorado, he
volunteered for the Army
Paratroops
and
was
transferred to Fort Benning,
Georgia for rigorous jump
school training. Leaping out T
o f airplanes became the
norm for Norene.
/
When a mortar shell
fragment broke bones in his
foot w hile fighting in
Holland, he was airlifted
back to a hospital in
England. He says it was the
first time he actually landed
inside a plane instead of
jumping out in mid air. He
recovered and returned to
duty in the 502nd regiment
o f the 101st Airborne
Division. During intense
fighting in Holland his unit
was surrounded and cut off
from
supplies
and
ammunition for eight days
during the infamous Battle
at Bastogne. A rifle bullet
shattered bones near his
knee that ended his military
service. After long periods
o f hospitalization and
constructive surgery, he was
given a medical discharge in
December 1945.
After his military
service, Norene attended
WSU to attain his degree in /
veterinary medicine. Jim
and his wife, Corky Nutting, t
were married in 1950. They
continue to devote their time
to the community, family
and beyond. In an effort to
help rebuild Baghdad
Veterinary College in Iraq,
the Norenes recently
shipped a large collection of
his veterinary books to that
country. Norene had learned
that everything in that
college building had been
vandalized. Correspondence
confirmed that the books
were received and regarded
as a valuable asset so that
classes could resume in that
college.
