“Thats were my dad was stationed in WWII.”

My grandfather was stationed there as well. They probably knew each other. Besides guard duty, he was assigned to sit on a barge beside a smoke pot waiting for an air-raid siren. Later they sent him to Okinawa and eventually mainland Japan.

Cheers :)

My dad was an MP.
My dad was sent home after he was shot by a sniper and lost an arm.
