My father was a Marine in China in the 1930's. He was a small town farm boy who had his eyes opened to a wide amazing world. It changed his life. Recently, I have found memorabilia from that experience--pictures of fellow officers or commanders, pictures of places of attraction in China,letters home to his mother, and so much more. I would love to contact some of those people like you did, but I fear that they are all dead. Thank you for taking the time and sharing his story.

Well written, and reminding people the real reason for Memorial Day. Well done. Not ashamed to say it got a little dusty at my desk reading that account.
