I think of the children happily playing in the streets, the moms reading books to thier children, and all those kinds of things . . .

My Dad was on Okinawa awaiting the invasion of Japan. So, pardon me if I take your statement above and have the luxury of being able to remember those things for myself.

Not only did your father sacrifice but your entire family did as well. It is so easy for others to dismiss your feelings. I sincerely appreciate my wonderful country and if it were not for your father and all of the other heroes of that time I would not be a free man.

God Bless and Thank You

Dittos to everything you said...my Dad was awaiting the invasion as well, his duty station being aboard a medium-sized landing craft full of Marines. Neither you nor I would have the luxury of sitting around second guessing Harry Truman because we would, more than likely, not exist at all.
