From Kathy:

I still can’t get on FR....Grammie posted for me as it seems most can get in.

I will ping later, or get Grammie to do it after she gets back from dinner.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

I sorta stuck the wrong date up there....but I asked the WONDERFUL mods to change.

[Publius]

I recall the look on his face in “The Pacific” when he was hit on Iwo Jima. The irony.

[tet68]

Haven’t seen that yet.

[Publius]

It’s worth a look. They go into detail at what happened at Guadalcanal, take him through his bond drive work, and his work at Camp Pendleton as an E-7 getting people ready for the Pacific.

Aloha Grams!

And Mahalo nui loa for tonight's thread!

(Just when I thought FR was gone this morning, it's a relief to have some normalcy back.)

Good evening to everyone at the Canteen.
Joke I heard at the reunion yesterday....

Did you hear they stopped the gusher in the Gulf of Mexico? They found it to be a female, put a wedding band on it and it quit putting out.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Aloha, BIGLOOK!!! Did you have a nice day??

[Brad’s Gramma]
