After his service in Europe he was placed on a troop ship heading for Japan.....as if witnessing what he had already wasn't enough he was going to invade Japan. Well we all know the rest of that story. He then spent 2 years in Kobe Japan as occupation forces. And yes he and men and women like him of this era are my hero's......[/QUOTE]
