Thanks for the post.
My dad was on Guadalcanal, with the Seabees.
He never spoke a word about any of his experiences there.

God bless all the wonderful American military personnel! I can't bear to imagine where we'd be without them.

I know him! He lives right here in La Quinta and is doing pretty well. Last year he had a bout with congestive heart failure, but seems to have recovered. His wife and my mother are chums involved in DAR.
About three years ago, when they came out with the Mitch Paige G.I. Joe, I really had to scrounge to get one, but did and had him autograph the unopened box.
You oughtta see his study - it's literally a USMC museum!

I just read the book Bloody Ridge: The Battle That Saved Guadalcanal, by Michael S. Smith. The courage all those heroes faced on that island is a tribute to the American Republic that will live forever!

If you ever get the chance, please tell Mr Paige there's a Nebraska lad who tells him thanks, and would be very honored to shake his hand someday.
