WWII Tunnels Opened

that's how the tunnels in Okinawa were, they were actual tours put on by guides from the Marine Corps that knew exactly where to step and what no to touch, problem was we were gone before we got the chance to take the tour.  we were supposed to go to Iwo also, that's sacred ground for us Marines.....maybe someday I'll get the chance again

that was very noble of you, being a combat veteran myself, i know how hard it is to remember the past.  there is no battlefield that doesn't carry scars, there was a quote that said something to the effect of "it takes twenty years to make a soldier, and a matter of seconds in combat to destroy him."  i can attest to this.  that level of appreciation and recognition that you showed him by giving him that precious knife, is beyond any words that can be expressed, and it almost makes me choke up, thank you for recognizing his sacrifice and honoring my fellow brother like that....Semper Fidelis brother

Thanks for the article.  That's amazing.  What a blessing Hitler was defeated.  And bless every soul that participated in the process.  (Even Napoleon had a better end.)   Thanks again.  Debra
