After surviving WW2, I lost my dad to the big C in ‘78. He is on top of that telegraph pole, under sniper fire he and PFC Bates hoisted our Color’s when Gen MacArthur re-took Corregidor “The ROCK”. They volunteered to do so.

Awesome! I know you are so proud of him. My dad was in WWII but never saw combat. He was in Hawaii after the big attack.
