I can't see the pic of your Dad

Really? It's showing up ok for me, I posted it via ImageShack, they might be having server issues and I'm seeing the picture from my browser cache, sorry about that!

Mine was in the Pacific too ... Lost him in '99

The Pacific was a brutal theatre of operations, despite the images of beautiful islands and palm trees and all that, my Dad started off as a Browning Automatic Rifleman, then it was munitions and blasting Japs out of their caves on too many islands to remember, then he ended up as a medical corpsman, a Jap sniper got him in the right arm in late '44 and that sent him home, even though I'm sure he was ready to keep fighting if necessary.

Bless you Friend, and your Dad's memory for his service to our Nation.

It’s probably something blocked from work...

Pacific theater was extremely costly.

Your dad’s picture shows up beautifully here. Taz, do some things get blocked? In a hospital?
