You saved my fathers life, I salute you sir.
“You saved my fathers life, I salute you sir.”
Same here. My Dad was on the battleship U.S.S Mississippi which had already been hit twice by kamikazes.
Mine too.
My dad completed a tour in europe and volunteered to follow his bomb group to Okinawa. Even the air corps units were pretty sure that they would have high losses if the invasion went forward and they expected the ground troops to really take a hit. His group dropped warning leaflets on Japan 2 days before the drop and there was a collective sigh of relief when Japan surrendered a week later.
