“Interesting article. My late father also served as a staff sergeant in the South Pacific and was stationed on Tinian at the time the bombs were brought there”
Tinian was also the site of the world’s largest military hospital, being built in preparation for the invasion of the Japanese home islands.
My Dad served in the South Pacific as a Signalman in the Navy during WWII.
He served on a Sub Chaser, a Destroyer and a Military Tug that recovered beached Landing Craft off Okinawa during the Invasion.
He turns 92 Next Week.
