@ghostdivision7 When a lot of Americans were driving Jap cars he was driving American also German or Swedish cars. He just could not understand why Americans would buy Japanese products. He was in the invasions of Bougainville and Guam with the 3rd Marine Div. and ended up with a chronic case of Malaria till the day he died in 2000.

Glad someone else knows that 'irregardless' is not a word. I hear it all the time and it really bothers me. I hear someone say it and I think the same thing you do: idiot.

Respond to this video... Our ship the LST570 participated in this invasion on jan 9th 1945 and is listed by the Philippine Gov. as eligible for the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation.
