My dad was in the 6th Marine Division from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima. He's 78 now and almost blind. To this day, he cannot bring himself to talk about the fierce campaigns he took part in against the Japanese in the Pacific.

[The Right Stuff]

Thank your Dad for all of us, and get him to pen his memoires so that all Americans, always, will know what happened in WWII.

[VOYAGER]

Tell your Dad his service to his country is very much appreciated and please not to leave any of his wartime experiences untold.

There are many others who have remained silent about their sacrificial service to their country and are gone now.

Write it down, it will mean so much those who experienced generally the same things but more than that for the generations that are coming after we who may at any time be numbered among the 1100 WW2 vets who are dying each day, whose experiences if unrecorded will be lost forever.
