HI Bill. What a nice surprise to get your note. I hate to tellyou this but technicallly I was USNavy during WW II !! I was in Amphib Intelligence copying Japanese Katakana code from a Submarine sitting on the bottom, with an antenna shot up to the surface! We were told at Pearl that we were ATTACHED to the Fifth Marines who went in on Iwo Jima and I was also involved at the Okinawa landing. I am not sure what that Attached meant, but FWIW. I am 84.
