Welcome home! Thanks for the ping, as it has given me a new tagline.

Thank you, sir, for the link to Bent Prop. I will be reading their reports with interest. And, will read their past expedition reports as well.

My father was a B-24 pilot in WWII, albeit in the ETO.

Semper Fi,

I have a great-uncle who commanded several different landing ships in the Pacific during the war, but he missed the Peleliu campaign. He touched sand on Tarawa (actually, his ship got hung up on the reef like everyone else), Saipan, Leyte Gulf, and Okinawa. When the war ended, he was on Admiral Nimitz’s staff, helping plan the invasion of the Japanese home islands.

Thank you for posting those photos of the Korean War Memorial. How moving, even eerie, to see the facial expressions. That was my Uncles war - he is still alive and is proud of his USAF service. BTW, welcome home to the newly identified soldier - RIP, brave warrior.

My dad and I went to Washington a number of years ago, just after the Korean War Memorial was completed, and it is one of the most amazing memorials I have ever seen.
