QUOTE(michaelt55 @ Dec 7 2010, 03:09 PM)  My dad was injured critically on Iwo Jima with a massive head injury. He survived and he is 86 and still with me. In fact he climbed all over the USS Texas with me last year. His generation will never be equaled. They gave great sacrifice and never asked for anything back. Wish that was a trait that existed today. Michael USN Ret My grandfather was injured on Iwo, too, and thankfully for me and the rest of the family it was injujry enough to keep him home. We are all very proud of his service and of all others who served as well. That generation accomplished so much, and in my view, won't be equalled again. |
