Remembrance Day
#4
My grandfather also was in the Marines in the Pacfic during WWII. He never spoke of his time in the service other then how they used to call him 'Pops' in boot camp - he was in his 30's when drafted. All I know was that he was at Okinawa and Iwo Jima - which pretty much tells me why this PA Dutch farmer, who until then had never been more than a day's ride from the house he was born in, did not speak of his experiences.
