My Dad was in the Pacific but he was in the Phillipines and New Guinea. Plenty of Japs to go around.

My Dad was in the China-Burma-India Theater of War.

God bless them all.

My father was in New Guinea, also; Transportation Corps. He didn't talk about it much, but my sister just gave me a book entitled: War at the End of the World, which is all about the war in New Guinea. Have you heard of it?

It's on my summer reading list, so I can educate myself about what went on there.
