He survived some of the worst of WWII

May he rest in peace.

RIP.

A great man Dzl, you should be proud.

[Margarita]

What a man.

My dad died 10 years ago, also WWII vet. Was headed to be part of the invasion of Japan. Bombs dropped and he became part of the occupation instead, being one of the first 10 men into Nagasaki post-bomb. He was a few days past his 18th birthday.

God bless them all.

RIP
Your Father is someone we can all be proud of.


Losing my Dad to Alzheimer's every day.
Really, he was gone a year or so ago.
No longer himself.

Don, that just makes me heartsick. First I've heard about your dad, that I remember. I'm so sorry.
