    Yes, my Dad was one of them! He never talked too much about it until later in life. He led a group of 170 soldiers. Only 17 survived. Dad lived to the age of 95. God bless all of who gave to keep us free. Remember "All Gave Some Some Gave All"

    Hi Bob,

    My dad was in the Navy in the Pacific. And my mom was a welder in the shipyards.
