My condolences Rick. 92 is a good run, and to have survived a war is even better. RIP.

Thanks to all for your comments and well wishes/prayers. I thought I would be more prepared for this news than I was. I am OK and will be traveling to Florida in a couple of weeks for services. A funny thing about his service on Saipan. Although he received a Purple Heart Medal he always said it was attained by cutting his leg while jumping in a slit trench during a Washing Machine Charlie bomb raid. His only keepsake from the campaign was a speeding ticket from an Army MP while driving a jeep for a Marine Corps Colonel. His story was that the Colonel told the MP to do something nasty with a sabre and his posterior  He never really talked much about the realities of the war. He will be missed but I know he is at peace.

So sorry for your loss, Rick. A Marine, a Veteran, and a good Father...... quite a good run and then some I`d say! Remember the good times and cherish them, sadly not many of that very brave generation remain but they leave us with wonderful memories and gratitude for their efforts. We`ll be thinking of you and your family.

My condolences, Rick.  WWII veterans such as your dad are pretty special people.  My own dad will turn 93 next month, a wounded U.S. Navy vet of Guadalcanal and Munda.  He never really talked about his experiences either.

My condolences, Rick.
