[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

So, my new pal : ), do you know very much about your grandfather's service? Was he a Marine? My dad was a Navy Corpsman (PhM2c), attached to the 4th Marine Division. He was a tough guy...he referred to Iwo as a "skirmish". : )

Grandpa was a CeeBee. He was working in Alaska when the war started. He went from the Arctic to the South Pacific. He was already 35. He had pictures and such but never talked about it with me until his last couple of years. He built runways and latrines.
