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.

Well, that was the point of taking Iwo - so the construction battallion guys could turn it into something we could use (referring now to the runways, more than the latrines - LOL). That was life-saving work. You must be very proud.
