Very nice. My Father’s field artillery batallion shipped to the Philippines in June, 1945 to join in the invasion of Japan. If the invasion had taken place, I might not be here.

And my father’s PBY unit had orders to depart for Okinawa. The week before this happened, they dropped the bomb and he never went.
