Many of these same men had fought at both Peleliu and Chosin ...
My battery gunny in VN was a three war Marine, although I didn't know it at the time.
Don't know where he was in WWII, but he did the Chosin in Korea AND made the Inchon landing.
Then he did two tours in 'Nam, at least one of them up on the DMZ (Tet, Khe Sahn etc.).
His wife said he had nightmares all the time, but she could never tell which war he was dreaming about.

"...His wife said he had nightmares all the time, but she could never tell which war he was dreaming about..." Many men is your profession are forced to carry an albatross around their sleeping neck...your gunny had three.
How does a man do that?
