Indeed it was ! Where did you fight in WWII ?

I caught the tail end, and remained stateside as a Rifle Range Coach at Parris Island and the remainder of that hitch as a Turn Key at the Parris Island Brig. I saw the Corps go from 500,000 to 69,000 under Truman, who I despise and hold to blame for Korea and the subsequent loss of nearly everyone I knew in the Corps.
