I'm way past recounting the events of my dads early life. I've got the timelines firmly fixed in my memory. He still tells the stories and I still listen, but he's become much more open about how he felt at the time. The thoughts of a 16 year old machine gunner at Guadalcanal are fascinating. Not at all what you'd expect.
