A. Patti was a writer, historian and retired Army lieutenant colonel best known for his work with Ho Chi Minh 1945 and his subsequent 1980 book, Why Viet Nam? Prelude to America's Albatross. After his service in the European Theater during World War II, Patti was transferred to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS – precursor to CIA) in Hanoi, Vietnam. While there, Patti was named head of a secret OSS mission under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt designed to support anti-colonialism in Asia. Part of Patti's mission was to befriend Ho Chi Minh and train Ho's men to fight the occupying Japanese forces in Vietnam. Patti was later pulled out of Vietnam by the United States in 1945 but he continued his friendly relations with Ho and his representatives. After his retirement, Patti worked closely with federal agencies in creating plans for civil governance in the event of a catastrophic attack on the US. Patti also became a well-known writer, recounting his work with Ho in 1945 and the changing face of politics in the Indochina region. Held for publication in the 1950s due to its controversial subject matter on communism, Patti's book, Why Viet Nam? Prelude to America's Albatross was published in 1980 and became known as a critical work on the study of politics in Asia.

Butler was born on August 16, 1916, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Butler grew up in Miami, Florida where he spent his teenage years working at The Bath Club, a luxurious country club for Miami's elite. Butler enlisted as a Private in the United States Army at Camp Blanding, Florida in January 1943 at the age of 26. Butler rose through the ranks to Second Lieutenant during basic training at Camp Wallace, Texas; Camp Davis, North Carolina; and Camp Haan, California.\n \nButler arrived in France at Utah Beach on August 28, 1944. After landing in Normandy, he experienced combat in Northern France, Belgium, and Luxembourg during the Battle of the Bulge, and in Germany.  For his service, during the course of the war, he received a bronze star medal and five battle stars: Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe. After the cessation of hostilities in May 1945, Butler's talents and upbringing in the hospitality industry led to being presented with the unique task of operating the Berchtesgaden Hof Hotel in the Bavarian Alps, which he was transferred to in June 1945. The hotel, situated adjacent to Adolf Hitler's personal winter retreat, was built in the 1930s and 1940s by the Nazi Government and was later transformed into a hotel for American Military Officers.\n \nNow promoted to First Lieutenant, Butler spearheaded the effort to prepare for the reception of the general officers in July 1944. It was during this stay that Butler met most of the Army High Command. Butler's masterful ability to provide an excellent stay for the Army Generals awarded him a letter of commendation and a personalized autographed photo from General of the Air Force Henry (Hap) Arnold. At Berchtesgaden, Butler befriended many of the German staff that worked for the hotel under Hitler. Butler was honorably discharged from active duty in the early months of 1946 and then joined the Reserves.

Macon recalls his last year of formal education was the fourth grade at a local grade school. He left school to help his father with farm work. At fourteen Macons' family moved to Henderson, North Carolina about an hour away from his hometown of Zebulon. Macon then moved by himself to Washington D.C. at the age of seventeen. On December 7, 1941, he was sitting in a jail cell in Tampa, Florida for jumping into freight trains with his cousin when he heard of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Although he was too young to volunteer for the military that did not stop him from trying. After being rejected for his age, Macon went to work for The Guthrie Boys, a local printer in Washington D.C.\n  \tHowever two years later he was drafted into World War II on April 8, 1943. He was inducted into the United States Army at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Macon then completed basic training at Fort Custer in Battle Creek, Michigan, after thirteen weeks of training. He then shipped to Australia aboard the USAT  Willard A. Holbrook . Macon docked in Brisbane where he was detailed to guard General Douglas MacArthur during MacArthurs' six-month stay.\n  After Macon finished his eighteen-month deployment in Brisbane, he was then shipped to Manila, the Philippines to guard General MacArthur again. Later Macon was selected as an honor guard for Tomoyuki Yamashita while he was on trial for war crimes, late in 1945. After the trial, Macon was sent home and discharged from the Army. Macon received two Bronze Stars and a Medal of Liberation of the Philippines for his service. Upon returning to the United States on January 26, 1946, Macon was discharged and returned to the printing business in Washington D.C. for thirty-two years until his retirement. Macon passed away on March 28, 2002, in Greenville, Pitt County, NC.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Thurston Macon who served as a Corporal in the United States Army with 799th Military Police Battalion during World War II.
