You bet I'd like to go out to Eglin!
I'm glad you liked that story! Ghost Soldiers is a fantastic book with a great ending; reading about what our POWs endured at the hands of the Japanese left me in awe of those men - I can't believe ANY of them survived it. One of the men who planned and led the raid to liberate the camp at Cabanatuan is still living here in my area.
I'm sure everyone would like to hear about your dad's service, if you ever feel like sharing. (No pressure, of course.)
