Eddie, I would consider a high point in my year and an honor to meet him.
I tell you the moment I saw Eddie come in with his son and I saw that cap I said to myself “I’ve GOT to talk to this man’’.
Eddie told me that when they’d try and get some sleep in their fox holes “We all had .45’s because the Japs would come up outta now where and try and get ya’’.”And all night all you’d hear was ‘’pop, pop’’ ‘cuz some guy was popping off some Jap’’.
