Remembering Young Ted Henderson a World War II Marine Hero

Rosa Henderson recalls her brother Young Ted Henderson a Marine who fought on Saipan and Tinian in 1944. He died on Tinian while friends credit his bravery and foraging skill and his family honors him on Memorial Day. The story places the Henderson family history from World War I to World War II and notes the Enola Gay’s Hiroshima mission after Tinian’s airbase was built.

Father's letter inspires son's patriotism in war memoir

In a Memorial Day 1918 letter from France, Edward Henderson, an Aiken businessman and Army infantryman, writes to his parents about battles, near misses, and his resolve to return to the front. He recalls that American troops faced tough German positions, notes his thigh wound from a machine gun, and describes losses of two lieutenants and many men. He praises fellow soldiers, hopes to rejoin his regiment, and signs off with devotion.
