@dauphin87 @piquant00 An uncle of mine was a marine on Iwo Jima and other islands. I think Guadalcanal.
@poemblaze @dauphin87 I don't know where my uncles served, but they did.

@poemblaze @dauphin87 Looks like a cool guy.
my dad was stationed a bunch of places around the US from GA to AK... and then in the first wave of reinforcements at Normandy. He marched from there to Berlin and worked in Eisenhower's offices of the occupation.
