My father was slated to go in on Coronet, I believe. He'd already been hit on Okinawa, as had 90% of his Marine company, and he knew he was in for it. (He ended up giving 35 years to the USMC, fighting in Korea and three tours in Viet Nam.)
Hurray for the Bomb, for otherwise I wouldn't be here!

I thank your dad for his years of service.
