My Uncle was in the “Island Hopping War,” and was just waiting to be shipped to Japan. He and his buddies breathed huge sighs of relief when the bombs were dropped!

My Uncle

My uncle too, had just participated in the invasion of Okinawa as a Combat Engineer.

He and his associates, were not eager to go through that kind of thing again...
