  1. Japanese WWII plane Engineering a War When you think of Wars, you think of fighting and bombing, but I got the chance to interview a World War 2 veteran that helped win the war in other ways. James J. Kilgore was a special vehicle operator and could be called a hero in his field. He was in the army for exactly 2 years, 7 months and about 20 days. In this period of time he built runways for planes, shot at Japanese soldiers, and sat in mud and water, all for the sake of the American people. By:Stephen Kowolonek US soldier, James J. Kilgore

  2. A New Job It was on April 26, 1946 that James J. Kilgore set out on a new occupation that would take him throughout the United States and Asia. It was then that this 21-year-old brown haired, blue-eyed gentleman of Newport, Kentucky set off with the United States Army 691st Engineer Base Equipment Division.

  3. Accomplishments Through his military career, James Kilgore received many awards for his achievements. He got things like a dog tag, representing that he was in the Army. He also got things that had to do with the years of service that he experienced. He received an award for being overseas for six months and for Being in service for 3 years.

  4. A Lasting Effect I wrote this piece about James J. Kilgore because he is my great grandpa. He had an Influence on many of peoples’ hearts and minds, including mine. I will be forever grateful for his contributions towards the freedom of all Americans.
