Frankly, they teach less about WWII in schools today then they taught about the Civil War when I went to school.

Wow thank your grandfather for me! Those were some major campaigns he participated in, and there were some awful battles fought on those islands. He has some balls for sure. I hope he passes peacefully whenever that time comes.
Your grandfather has made us all proud. That is a really awesome picture worth treasuring.
God Bless him!
Thanks to your grampa for his service!
It really is sad to know that there aren't many of those guys left. Me and the fiance just had this conversation a few days ago. Her grampa was a WWII pilot that was shot down over Germany and taken prisoner for a few years...didn't get out till after the war. He passed before I got to meet him, but his wife (my fiance's grandma) is an amazing woman. 86 years old and moves as quick as I do lol...that generation really was IMO the greatest generation.
Amazing stuff - I'm proud just to have learned about him!
