Most of the receipts are a riot when they get away with a small group. Col. Barney Barnum had us rolling on the floor with his wit. Also love the story's about his hanging out with Black Sheep sqd Poppy Boyington. Also Jack Lucas, the youngest Marine ever to receive the, the medal, was a real comedian. Gave me a small vial of sand from Iwo Jima from when he went back with a group a bunch of years ago. Go to

http://homeofheroes.com/moh/war/15_wwii.html to read about these great men and woman who put their comrades first before their own welfare.

If you ever get the chance to meet one of them don't hesitate.
