Its amazing the sacrifices young boys made in that war
John Finn is a real American
My uncle served in the 6th Marine Division in ww2, he was shot on Iwo Jima and shot at Okinawa,I also had an uncle in the Navy and in the Army during the war,my father turned 18 in Oct of 1945 and was one of the last to be drafted(at least thats what he told me) he served in the Phillipines guarding Japanese P.O.W.'s awaiting return to Japan.I myself am a Grenada era veteran, no war or combat for me.

noose goes at it with me regularly and vice versa. (I suspect that he genuinely dislikes me.) But on this topic, I see no good basis for humor, so I'll just play this one straight: Noose has worn the uniform, so he has my sincere thanks for his service.

I'm sorry but Grenada? lol....I don't mean to belittle your service, I just think that was a funny war....it was already over before anyone knew about it. My dad was all upset because it was the first war in his lifetime he hadn't been in.....
Kudos to you for your service to our country.
And to all of you with stories of your relatives, keep telling them, they are interesting and part of our country's history. Someone should gather them all up in a book, just personal stories like this.....
