Your praise is to much, I was only 18 when I got to the South Pacific, and did not know much other than I was a MARINE and that I was fighting for my country. Chong, the people in your country did the same when the North came down. I still say that the service people in all of the wars before and after did as much as did we in WWII. When I look at the pictures of these young people now I wonder how they can do what they do. They suffer under hardships that no-one should have to suffer under.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

Sir, you and other men and women who served during WWII deserve my praise and more from more people. At such a tender age, so far away from home.......

You brought freedom to so many. I feel fortunate to be able to offer you my sincere thanks for my own freedom. Once again, God Bless you, Sir, and may God Bless and Protect our Troops.
