Goddammit. One of my life wishes is that I could have the honor of meeting one WWII vet willing to talk of his combat experiences. Looks like I'll probably never fulfill that dream annoy: cry: .[/quote:169b8]
Look for the division hats many of them wear. I saw a guy at Barnes & Noble once, and thanked him for his service. He then told me of some things he saw at Iwo Jima, and about a guy who dove on a grenade to save his friends. Somehow he survived, and was awarded the Medal of Honor. beer:
