Thanks for the ping.

My dad was operating off of a sub in the days leading up to this operation. He and his team would paddle ashore and set up explosives with time-delayed fuzes. The whole point was to make the North Koreans think something was going on away from Inchon. He had a buddy shot that was paddling next to him on the raft.

He never told me his war stories until I joined ROTC in college in 84. I asked why he didn't tell me the stories earlier, and he said he didn’t think I would be interested. He died in 96, and I just don't think I heard all his stories. I miss that old Sergeant Major...

I thank your dad for his service.

My dad was the same way, didn't say much about the War (WWII) until I enlisted in 1968.

I am sorry for the loss of your dad. It's too bad we don't get more of the stories and history while we can. But then, sometimes no matter how hard we try we can't jar those memories loose from the men who lived them. Your dad's service is very much appreciated. Thanks for sharing about him.
