Those old guys were really something. God Bless Him.
I'm finishing up a book now, With The Old Breed by Eugene Sledge. It is about his experiences as a Marine in WWII with a mortar squad in Peleliu and Okinawa.
Very good read.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” –Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishment”, 1764
I have dived around Peleliu and took the opportunity to walk among the abandoned war wreckage on the island, both US and Japanese, including downed aircraft and tanks. What a hell hole it must have been.
Incredible! If you can, please pass along my highest thanks and salute. Godspeed to one hell of a warrior!
A real war horse from the old breed! God speed to what sounds like a great man!
Your Grandfather has balls, really really massively huge made of steel balls.

I understand too is an adverb and to is a preposition, I still prefer using to in place of too.
The way I see it I'll save maybe 5-10 minutes over my lifetime not typing that extra o at the end of to. Even typing up this explanation saves me more time than typing that extra o
