  1. My Dad was a Seabee in the South Pacific in WWII. His dad signed a letter for him to enlist at 17. I can’t even imagine. Thank all of you for everything.

  2. My Dad was born in 1925. He enlisted in 1942 at 17. Sadly he died when he was 60 from lung cancer. He still smoked filterless Camels or Pall Malls. He was one hell of a man. I’m proud of all those men and women. ✌️😎

  3.  @cephasjohn1199  He did. My aunt (my Mom’s sister) told me that my Mom and Dad dated for 14 years. He was a rounder. He was 35, my mom was 32 when my sister was born. 1962. Four kids in basically four years. I’m 58. He was 39 when I was born. 40 when my younger brother was born. ✌️😎

  4. You may have been different if you were around then. The depression was just ending. Nobody had anything. They fought literally every day. Food, clothing, a few dollars was probably worth it. ✌️😎
