the navy lot more at Okinawa too. took a great class with a friend whose dad was senior NCO of the initial medical clearing station for the 77th INF. they were on Okinawa. working on a SHERMAN plus a few infantrymen diorama for him.
i was born on DEC07 1951. my dad and uncle were in the navy. I was a tanker in the army. I wonder if that is the reason for my interest in history. i teach mostly Russian history now.
Thanks for serving, FRiend.
I am a history buff, because I have come to realize that there are few things in life that are completely new, and that seeing how they happened and how they were dealt with in the past is not only a great source of genuine drama and contributes to the understanding of human nature and fundamental human behavior, but also helps in understanding current crises.
Russian history is something I am less versed on prior to WWI, I admit. That alone is an interesting facet of history, I am certain.
