[George from New England]

And ever service man or soldier that wanted a smoke, more than earned every one of them.
Can’t say that today I don’t think.

[Verginius Rufus]

Duncan joined the Marines during WWII and fought on Okinawa. My Dad was also in the Marines and fought on Okinawa but I don't know if he ever met Duncan.

When my Dad was in a foxhole on Sugar Loaf Hill in the middle of the night, he wanted a cigarette but all of his matches were wet. He managed to light a cigarette from a flare which had landed nearby.

Fortunately he later quit smoking or he would not have lived as long as he did.
