Fantastic story!

Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

One question?

What did we do to deserve such men?

I don't know, but I pray there's still some here somewhere. We need them now as much as we needed them then.

I am quite serious about the "W" :-)

I know this brings tears to my eyes knowing we now live in such a crummy woke place.

I can't imagine what my father-in-law Bill would think.

He, at 17, was in the first wave of Marines at the 'canal.'

Almost all South Pacific actions, Guam, Saipan, Luzon, Okinawa, the Japanese occupation. Korea, Pusan, Chosin Reservoir, West Germany, and then 60's Viet Nam as a Red Cross Field Director with a still "classified" file.

When they presented him with the Bronze Star in Korea, he told them "Give it to the medics, they deserve it more."

I was told the Honor Guard identified him as the most distinguished combat veteran they had ever attended to a ceremony for.

At 77 years old, he was the very definition of "High Speed, Low Drag."
