A man that I know from church a few years ago, was on Guadalcanal from day one. He never told any stories about the war, but was always bright and cheerful. I recieved an email the other day that he has stomach cancer. So sad, another hero whose days are getting short.

You should visit him with a recorder and ask him to tell you his story so you can pass it on.
An acquaintance of mine, here in my small town, enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1937. He’s 91 now. He was commanding LC’s and got left on Guadalcanal for a few days with the Marines.
He was all over the Pacific in the war, and still comes in for a couple of beers at our local watering hole.
Very unassuming guy, and everyone around here treats him with a great deal of reverence.
