Morning Snippy! Thanks for the piece on Tarawa. I have a good friend by the name of Bill Simmons who was one of those UDT fellows. He was the only one of his original team to survive the war. Incredibly brave and tough guy yet one of the kindest and most gentle of persons. I'm proud to know such men.

Good to see you Lee. When are you comin' to Georgia? Take Sam with you on one of your reenactments, he'd love it.

Tell Bill we said thank you.
