Thank you Stan for the compliment (SMILES) I like your post too, almost like setting down and talking with an old friend, you keep it interesting and real. I like to hear the guys in here tell about their military experiences, brings back memories of my dad. My dad and most of the men in my family were army, but I remember my dad saying the navy was the ones to join cause they feed their men well.
he too spent time on a ship going to the war and coming back, he talked about the typhoons and gettin sea sick.
Most of the men in my family served in the Pacific, the Phillipines and New Gunnia, one was in the Bataan death march and after the war was drafted and had to go to Korea he never talked about the war. Like the civil war soldier. they are all gone now.
best wishes from little Dixie
