We lost another Marine today. Hunter, John. Served in the Marine in WWII and fought in most of the largest battles, including Iwo. Just got a call from his son, my friend and neighbor since 1978. He was a great guy. One night about 20yrs ago, standing in my neighbors kitchen, he told us that he was a ruuner on Iwo. He said you don't know how fast you can run in boots and sand till somebody's trying to kill you. Side note his grandson is a mortar man in the Marines and is leaving in little while for Afghanistan.

Sad to hear. That generation is nearly all gone -- sadly. Semper Fi, indeed! "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||
