World War II veteran en route to Pearl Harbor ceremony booted from flight

A 90-year-old World War II veteran en route to a ceremony marking the 72nd anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor was booted from his flight to accommodate the weight of additional jet fuel needed for the trip.
According to Hawaii News Now, Ewalt “Walt” Shatz, a WWII veteran credited with shooting down a Japanese plane during the 1941 attack, was scheduled to take a United Airlines flight direct from Los Angeles to Honolulu on Wednesday, but was re-booked on an American Airlines flight leaving eight hours later that included a layover in Maui.
“I was surprised.  I didn't know which way to go.  Here I am at LAX with all these people and it's all new to me. I was just lost I didn't know what to do which is an awful feeling," Shatz told the paper.
Shatz was traveling alone and suffers from macular degeneration, an eye condition that limits his sight. "They just left me kind of stranded. Here I'm 90 years old, and I don't know -- I really didn't have anybody else I could call."
Shatz said he was told by a United Airlines agent at LAX only two passengers on the Boeing 737 to Honolulu had been booted.
"I thought that they just overbooked the deal and they were trying to get rid of a couple of customers and somebody had my seat -- and that's what made me mad, because I paid for that seat.  I paid for that seat and somebody else is sitting in it," Shatz told WOAI News 4. “I was lost. I didn’t know what to do.”
Shatz reportedly told two United desk agents -- and a supervisor -- he was a WWII vet invited to attend a remembrance ceremony at the USS Arizona memorial to mark the attack’s anniversary.
United, in a statement to Hawaii News Now, said, “Inclement weather in the path of United flight 1226 required the flight to carry additional fuel and, as a result, reduce the number of passengers on board by 41.
“United agents in Los Angeles re-booked those customers, including Mr. Shatz, on the best available alternate flights on United and other airlines. We look forward to speaking with Mr. Shatz and the other affected customers.”
Shatz arrived in Honolulu just before midnight and in time for the ceremony.
Word of his Shatz’s plight traveled quickly on the Internet, and 71 people – mostly U.S. service members – organized a last-second welcoming party for him at the airport in Honolulu. 
"Getting ready to put my khakis on and go greet a WWII vet (Pearl Harbor Survivor)... If you are on island and would like to come greet and honor this hero, come on out," Navy Chief Benjiman Scott wrote in part on his Facebook page, according to the paper. 
"Everybody wanted a picture with me and they were making out like I was hero, but I'm not really.  It was embarrassing in a way, but I liked it.  It was nice," Shatz told WOAI News 4. 
Reportedly added Chief Navy Counselor Rex Parmelee: “This is why we're serving.  We're here to tell their story.  We're here to show our respect for them.  It's a tremendous honor and that's why we take it so serious. Heritage is huge."
Shatz was 18 years old in 1941 when Japanese warplanes attacked Pearl Harbor. The Navy has reportedly credited him with shooting down a Japanese plane during the battle with an anti-aircraft gun.
"I don't know if I did or not; somebody said I did,” Shatz reportedly said. “I fired a 50 caliber machine gun and it's possible I did shoot at some planes, but whether I hit any or not -- that's another story.  I don't take any credit for any of that. Whether I did or not, probably only God knows.”

91-year-old World War II veteran retires after 65 years of working on the railroad

This Labor Day, there will be a little less labor for one World War II veteran.
Thomas Merrick, 91, who served in the Army's 92nd Infantry between 1942 and 1946, retired Saturday from his job as station superintendent with the New York City transit system after 65 years of service, according to MTA.info.

Merrick, who began working as a railroad clerk in the summer of 1948 for 90 cents an hour -- what he calls "a good and decent wage at the time" -- was born in 1921 in Wilmington, N.C.

Prior to joining the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Merrick was drafted into the United States Army, serving from 1942 to 1946 in Alabama and Arizona before being sent to Italy and France as part of the 92nd Infantry "Buffalo" Division, a segregated unit of black soldiers.



“You should take one day at a time . . . "
- Thomas Merrick
He served as a Howitzer Gunner, and was later promoted to Battery Clerk. After his honorable discharge, he worked a brief stint as a file clerk with the Veterans Administration.

According to the website, Merrick began working for the New York City transit system in 1948, when a train fare was just 5 cents, compared with the $2.50 paid for a ride today.

“Mr. Merrick is an inspiration as both a gentleman and fellow New York City Transit employee. When you consider his length of service, he has worked through the best and worst of times here at Transit, and through all that time, he has been a tremendous resource to both his co-workers and our customers. I am speaking for the entire organization as I thank him for his service and wish him a great and well-deserved retirement,” said NYC Transit Acting President Carmen Bianco, according to the MTA website.

Merrick has served in various roles during his six-decades run, including assistant station supervisor, station supervisor and station superintendent.

When it comes to staying power and the key to lasting on the job, the nonagenarian says, “You should take one day at a time and if you enjoy your work, it will motivate you to continue working.”
