The following letter has been
received by Mr. and Mrs. T. Scott

“August 5, 1945
“Mr. and Mrs. T. Scott,
“Nome, Alaska.
“Recently your son, Lieutenant
Robert F. Scott, was decorated
with the Air Medal. *It was an
award made in recognition of
courageous service to his combat
organization, his fellow American
airmen, his country, his home and
to you.
“He was cited for meritorious
achievement while participating
in aerial flights in the Pacific Area
from February 26, 1945, to April
2, 1945.
“Your son took part in sus
tained operational flight missions
during which hostile contact was
probable and expected. These op
erations, consisting of bombing
missions against enemy airdromes
and installations as well as at
tacks on naval and cargo vessels,
aided considerably in the recent
successes in this theatre.
“Almost every hour of every
day your son, and the sons of
other American mothers, are do
ing just such things as that here
in the Pacific.
“Theirs is a very real and very
tangible contribution to victory
and to peace.
“I would like to tell you how
genuinely proud I am to have men
such as your son in my command,
and how gratified I am to know
that you Americans with such

MacArthur, whom he succeeded
in command of the American
forces on Corregidor.
The meeting occurred in a pri
vate dining room of New Grand
hotel, where Gen. MacArhur and
members of his staff awa’.ted Gen.
Wainwright’s arrival. There was
no ovation. MacArthur just wrung
Wainwright’s hand and said sim

Wainwright, obviously in fine
spirits, appeared to swallow mo
mentarily before he answered
“I'm glad to see you too.”

“You, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, have
every reason to share that pride
and gratification.
“Sincerely,
