Winder News.

He will brag about how the “college
boys” with their degrees could pass
the test for the big diesel engines, but
when they needed work on the engines
they would call him to do the real work
on the big engines.
He enlisted June 30, 1942, and
served three years and four months.
He was a diesel mechanic in the Navy.
He was aboard the USS, LCS, LST
and LCT. He was in the “European
Theaters” which went to Cecily, Itlay,
Germany, France and Africa.
In the Navy, this was known as the
“Amphibious Force.”
His hobbies are fishing and playing
his Jew’s harp (or Jaw Harp).
The current pictures shown were
taken at a recent presentation given by
the Quilts of Valor Foundation. Burns'
daughter said she would like to give
thanks to this foundation that hand
makes quilts and gives them to veter
ans all over the country. This presen
tation was in Fawrenceville.
His daughter plans to take him on
the “Honor Flight” that takes WWII
vets to the monument in Washington,
D.C., in September of this year. This
is a project that is being provided by
generous givers for war heroes.
Bums also puts a lot of faith and
trust in God. He will tell you that God
without man will always be God, but
man without God is nothing.
He married Cathleen Poppell in
1955 and they had two children includ
ing son, Jimmy Bums, who is now
married and lives in Tallahassee, Fla.,
and daughter, Susan Ballard. His wife,
Cathleen, went to be with her Ford
in 2004. Bums raised his children in
church with strong faith in God and
Jesus Christ. He now has six grandchil
dren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Note: The Barrow News-Journal
wishes to thank Susan Ballard for con
tributing the information shared in this
article about her father.
