@shadow0dancer His name is Don (or John?) Phillips. If that's him in the picture, I would ejoy having a copy. Thanks! If not, thanks anyway!

My dad was 15 when he signed up. Lied about his age too. I can't imagine my dad going through this hell. He came back with frozen feet, and bad hearing. He'd never let you know though. Not ever a complaint from him, but I knew he was in pain, especially as he aged. R.I.P. daddy. <3 God Bless our soldiers then and now. :)

Yes from the stories I heard it must have been terrible in many respects. The freezin temps alone would have done it for me. Thanks for the reply....

Some people work an entire lifetime and wonder if they ever made a difference to the world. But the Marines don't have that problem.
