Sid Phillips on his unique reunion with Eugene Sledge during the Pacific War

[rsapienza1965]

I was just watching "The War" by Ken Burns. There was a Sid Philips from Mobile AL. in that documentary, I have to wonder was that the same Sid from the Pacific? What are the odds that two Sid's came from Mobile and served in the Marines in the Pacifrc.. Anyone have any clue... I have not read his book... So any help would be very cool..  BTW... Sid, thanks, can't beleive you endured that hell...

Heroes, all of them. Bless all the allied soldiers who sacrificed everything for todays ungratefulness.

Lest We Forget
