Great read - not a vet but always a WW2 buff - Grandfather was in SeaBees that rebuilt Pearl, Father served South Pacific Army Air Corps on Tinian(the bomb) & my Mom built LST's at a local mill turned Shipyard.

Thanx!

One of the great ships!

There was a movie titled Purple Hearts, about the bomber crews that were captured after the Tokyo raids.

As tragic as this story was, your pic was tasteless and offensive

Me too, I love this revisit and history retold. Many people are unaware or forget about the battles fought and the lives lost.

since when is this group such listless pussies that they are offended by a post??? Put it back up, we can deal with it!

(Redkilla, if your 'aunt flo' is visiting I understand but still not a reason to censor!)
