It's the 2045. Tony Elliott is named the top coaching candidate for the new Space Force University located on the Moon. He declines the offer, however, and remains OC at Clemson.
My dad and my uncle just wouldn‘t talk about it except to each other, and then only about never wanting to go on a cruise because of how sick they got on the journey from here to Europe.Holy smokes - what a memory that is! So many stories to tell of tragedy, joy, hope and so on. Thanks for sharing.
Dad was in the naval Air Force and eventually flew missions over China spotting Japanese troop movements. Wish he was still with us to talk about it. My wife just lost a wonderful uncle that was stationed there after PH and went on to serve on a ship during battles at Okinawa and other locations. He was recognized by Congress through Rep. Dana Harshbarger's efforts just a couple of weeks before he passed. He never harbored any resentment toward anybody, friend or foe.
I think @OneManGang would love to hear those interviewsMy Great Uncle was in the Baatan Death March. I hate to admit that I can't remember all of the specifics, but he was a POW for quite a while and eventually released. I got the love of history from my mom, and she did some audio interviews with him to preserve the stories before he died. I may just have to ask her about them.
