When Benjamin Franklin said, 267 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,559 they that can give up essential liberty to obtain a 268 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:06,480 little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety, he was 269 00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:10,840 speaking for all men in all countries. In May nineteen 270 00:14:10,879 --> 00:14:13,720 forty five, when the first Marine Division was making an 271 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,960 assault in Okinawa, pharmacist's mate, William D. Halliburton, Junior, serving 272 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,759 with a Marine rifle company, left his place of safety 273 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,919 during a terrific counter attack by the enemy. In spite 274 00:14:23,919 --> 00:14:26,960 of the deadly accuracy of the concentrated fire around him, 275 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,039 Haliburton unhesitatingly dashed across a draw and up a hill 276 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,320 into an open bombarded field to render first aid to 277 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,600 a fallen marine. When his patient was struck a second time, 278 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,159 Haliburton placed himself in the direct line of fire in 279 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,799 order that he might shield his patient and continue to 280 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,039 treat him. Though he could have sought safety until his 281 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,919 company advanced and covered him, his first thought was for 282 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,440 the wounded man. It was only when the slashing fury 283 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,919 of the shrapnel and bullets mortally wounded him that Halliburton 284 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,279 was unable to continue his duty. His unwavering coat of 285 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,799 conduct in the fight for liberty earned him his grateful 286 00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:10,519 country's highest award, the Medal of Honor.

Then shortly after Doc we drove back and 358 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,839 for a couple of hours, for three or four hours. 359 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,279 Well anyhow, shortly before midnight, Nancy and I walked quietly 360 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,519 up on the porch of Oscar Trembley's insurance office. 361 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 8: You mean you didn't leave a message in my office 362 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,640 to be here tonight? 363 00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:38,599 Speaker 6: I certainly didn't. I found a message from Charlie. 364 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:41,279 Speaker 7: Are you kidding? Somebody left a message at my print 365 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:43,039 shop to be here, and I got one at my 366 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:43,759 radio shop. 367 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: Now, I of course they couldn't know you're handwriting. 368 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 7: Wait a minute, there's somebody outside. 369 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:59,839 Speaker 2: Huh, Johnny, good evening, gentlemen. Why I thought you'd left town, friend, 370 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,720 I wanted you to think so. Listen, the old tower 371 00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:09,279 clock has started this strike midnight. Yeah, that's five sick 372 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,400 well as I suddenly realized that in all my investigation 373 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,440 this morning, I was being handicapped by what I thought 374 00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:18,599 was help or do you being cappy? I had too 375 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,960 much help? Two or three of you were with me 376 00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:21,680 every second. 377 00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:24,279 Speaker 9: Oh, we wanted to be sure you wouldn't overlooking at it. 378 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,839 Speaker 2: You wanted to be sure I would overlook a few things. Huh. 379 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:35,519 Speaker 7: Oh wait, that's eleven twelve. Hey, you know it struck twelve. 380 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: No ghostly whale tonight is there? I know, no, fellas, no, 381 00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:43,400 because the ghost is no more. 382 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,839 Speaker 9: You found the ghost, Johnny. 383 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,799 Speaker 2: I found out that he's one of you, maybe all 384 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:54,319 of you, you alone. Without your careful guidance, I finally 385 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,519 located that sub seller in the old mccanderw's house. You did, 386 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,559 and that mess of complicated electrical stuff was making the 387 00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,400 weird sound effects, the rocking chair, the banging shutters and 388 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:10,480 so on. Very clever your handiwork bill. Sure, sure, but 389 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,079 Johnny Fellas, it was a wonderful publicity stud especially after 390 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,240 international press was notified. But you did not only for 391 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:21,599 your radio and electronics shop bill, for your real estate business, Tony, 392 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,319 your print shop and newspaper Charlie, and your insurance business 393 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,119 as well.

Provided the ghost of Ian mcandre's never walks 398 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,920 the streets of Lake City again, well you can be that. 399 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,680 I don't know. I suppose I ought to really hit 400 00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:59,920 you over the head with this expense account, but after all, 401 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,960 cause was a kind of worthy one, so I'll be 402 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,519 honest with it for a change.

So join us, won't you? Yours truly, Johnny Dollar? 428 00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:15,480 Yours truly, Johnny Dollar is storrying. Bob Bailey originates in 429 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,240 Hollywood and is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who 430 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,359 also wrote today's story. Heard in our cast were Virginia Gregg, 431 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,000 Boris Lewis, Joseph Kern, Russell Thorson, Sam Edwards, and Bob Bruce. 432 00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,039 Be sure to join us next week, same time and 433 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,880 station for another exciting story of Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. 434 00:24:37,240 --> 00:25:01,680 This is Roy Rowan speaking. This is the United States 435 00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:04,599 Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. 436 00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: Welcome Back. I appreciated Johnny's overall initial instinct to surprise 437 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,680 the town with showing up. His big problem was that 438 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:26,839 they were all in on it and so kept him busy, 439 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,640 so they were able to get things set up. But 440 00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:34,519 Johnny's overall instinct of stealth is actually what pays off 441 00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:39,480 in the end. I did find Fancy's inclusion and her 442 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:43,240 insistence on a meet included with Fuddy Well. I was 443 00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:45,240 calling you up because I wanted to see if you 444 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,920 decided to become an expert. Now, becoming an expert would 445 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,000 mean actually having to study up on the subject, so 446 00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:55,640 I didn't decided not. 447 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 3: To do it. 448 00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: Oh, well, there's a supernatural case. No you Well, then 449 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,799 I'm going, well, you don't actually know anything. Sure, I've 450 00:27:03,799 --> 00:27:07,839 read a couple of booklets I picked up in gas stations. 451 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,880 Don't worry, You'll be fine. I've got some stuff to 452 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,480 tell you about what some authorities have said. But Johnny 453 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,119 liked having her around, so I can't complain too much 454 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,200 about that. And anyway that you get to hear Virginia 455 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,400 Gray Act is a good way listener comments and feedback, 456 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,759 and we turned to Facebook where a listener comments, the 457 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,799 very last place Johnny Dollar went was Little Rock, Arkansas. 458 00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:38,440 Actually no, I will say that towards the end of 459 00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:42,240 Bob Bailey's run, there is a case that is set 460 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:48,319 in Little Rock. But that's not even the last Bailey episode. 461 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:57,039 The last episode period had Johnny journeying to Weathersfield, Connecticut, 462 00:27:58,039 --> 00:28:06,440 you know, after thee when he went to Bronxville, New York. 463 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,680 You know that, of course, is the error of the 464 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,720 program that we're looking forward to, where they realize that 465 00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:18,079 the audience even though Johnny could technically go anywhere, you know, 466 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,960 if he just stays around New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, 467 00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:26,160 that makes the research more convenient.
