He was a doctors assistant No S%@%#!, Rev? My Dad was on Guam, took some beaches summer of '44. USMC, radio-man, corporal. Saw comabt in the Marianas campaign. I got very little info about it, he would not discuss what he/they did. One story about a guy "down the line" that jumped on a Jap grenade, got he Medal of Honor, and a ride home in a box. Was interesting to hear Dad's take on that guy/his deed. After he died I read a book by a fellow marine about the combat Marine's experience in the Pacific. Yikes! midnite... Grandpa midnite was in WWI, on the wrong side!
