Dad fought with the 23rd Marines across the Pacific. He was shot on Tinian, on Saipan, and left for dead on Iwo Jima at the foot of Mt. Suribachi. He is 94 and still with us.

For years my wife, our kids and I would take dad to his Marine Corps Company reunions. The first hand stories of the men that stormed and died on the beaches is quickly being lost. Truly a generation of great men and women.

How does one thank them - a hug, a thank you seems so inadequate, but, that is all they ask. We are so indebted.
