My Dad passed away last mo. at a VA assisted living home in Texas, he was 87 yrs, old. during ww2 he served in China. a mo. before he passed i ask him what was his job in China? he said he was in charge of a small team whose job it was to blow up bridges and and narrow roads to slow the japanese army down. i ask him what type weapons he carried. he said they all carried a thompson and 1911s, and he smiled when he said that.
he never talked much about ww2 before, and like a fool i never asked untill it was to late. these ww2 Hero,s are now leaving us at 2000 a day, if you are luckey enough to have one , talk to him now, dont be a dumbass like i was.
