Through tears may I say that your father was a great man, the type of bravery that holds the fabric of America together.

Our present generation,in a larger sense, may never know the truth about the past. WWll was an important lesson to learn. Yet it seems to have been washed out by the schools and the media, in much the same way, 9-11 was.

I too lost my father this year, a WWll vet who survived Okinawa,the last battle of WWll. I too wrote his amazing story here (and surprisingly only got three responses).

May your father rest in peace and may WWll not be forgotten.

Thank You for sharing this and allowing me the priveledge to greive alongside you.

I am sorry that I missed your post. Let me now extend to you my condolences and the thanks of my family for the gift of freedom that we enjoy due to his unselfish service.
