I used to golf with nicest guy one could ever meet. Very quiet and soft spoken. He was a LT. in the Marines on the 2nd wave on Iwo Jima. He never mentioned in all our time on the course. He son finally told me the story.

I used to golf with a paratrooper who landed in Normandy - just a regular guy.
