I'd give almost anything to know what Sledge thought of 9/11 and U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. I just read "With The Old Breed" and have the utmost respect for him and the men he served with. Class act.
-
when I came back from Vietnam in 1972. like sledge hammer when my sister awoke me I grabbed at her throat. it took my older sister and mom. we were under heavy mortar and rocket attacks. but it never has gone from my mind seeing my friends put in a body bag.
-
sledg hammer was a true warrior in the sence. I now know what my dad when thru in WWII in the pacific. may you RIP With all your marines in heaven.

@mindeloman i would be fascinated to read one
-
@wadyano I can't say that I've looked for a memoir from a member of the 969th. Possibly there is one out there.
-
@mindeloman none of them ever wrote of their first hand experience? it must be a fascinating perspective in battle.
-
@wadyano I don't know of a book specifically written about them. However, any concisely written book on the sege of bastogne always mentions the 969th. I know don burgett's book "seven roads to hell" talks of them a lot. burgett was really amazed by those guys. He always spoke with great reverence about them.
-
@mindeloman where can i read about them?
-
i find it fascinating to think, the way japan now is such a benign friendly countries and how well our countries get along now- to think about what a great population we have now of japanese americans- How many of those vicious brainwashed jap soldiers that sledge fought now have american grandchildren? or even p[erhaps great grandchildren in the US military? how inconceivable would an america steeped in sushi and karate, pouring dollars into Yamaha, Toyota, Sony, Toshiba ect have been in 1944?
