@71leezippy I do believe that is irrelevant to the point.

God bless you, palapescada. Just reading your comment brought tears to my eyes. I was/am a Marine, and the expression we Marines have is that
"Marines don't die, they just go to heaven and regroup", so I know that your Dad is looking down on you from heaven, and thanking you for your comment. I can only imagine what he must have gone through in WW2 in the Pacific. It is men like your Dad, that made this country great. Semper Fi, and OORAH.

I am an ex-NAVY Corpsman, from years back. I'm 46 y/o now & my days with the Division is still fresh in my mind. They were in fact, some of the best days of my life. I consider it bragging rights to say I was in the company of such brave and honorable men (funny as hell too). Semper Fi till my last breath!!!
My father was in the USMC 1st Div. in the Pacific during WW2. When I was still a young child, we went to Washington one year on a family vacation and one of the things we saw was the USMC memorial. My father walked up to it by himself and just stood there for a long time. When he turned back to us, he had tears running down his face. It was the only time in my life that I ever saw tears in his eyes. I didn't understand then, but I do now. I love you and miss you, Daddy. Semper Fi.

@mcintearj : And I am a former Marine Corps staff sergeant who served as a door gunner with HMM-164 during Vietnam. God bless you and ALL Navy Corpsmen for your incredible bravery and outstanding service during hundreds of dangerous missions. There are many, many Marines and their families who owe you and your brothers their lives together. Semper fi.
