Nolan and his Great Grandpa

Fort Loramie, Ohio

70 years ago today, April 1st, 1945 (Easter Sunday), Dad and thousands of other Marines and Soldiers landed on Okinawa. The fight for the island lasted 82 days, at the cost the lives of over 14,000 U.S. Marines, Sailors and Soldiers.
Nolan and I visited with Dad tonight so Nolan could ask him question for his history class.

I can see a family resemblance, but Nolan looks a lot like his grandpa!

Very nice. Make sure he gets to spend lots of time learning the history, lest it be forgotten!
