I salute all Veterans today--especially my father. My Dad served in the U S Navy in World War II. He joined on 4-4-44 and served until the end of the War. He hit the beach on Iwo Jima as his unit was attached to the United States Marines. He never said much about the War, but after his death I have read all I could about Iwo Jima and understand why he chose not to speak of what he endured. I recall when I took US History at Green Forest High School the picture of the "flag raising" was on the cover of my text book and Daddy said, "I was there".
Happy Veterans’ Day to all who served.
