• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I was fortunate to call this fine gentleman my patient and friend for the last ten years. He received the Navy Cross for actions on Peleliu with G Co. 2/5 Marines, 1st Marine Division in the Umurbrogol hills. He came home and became a minister after convalescing from his wounds. He carried Japanese shrapnel in his body for the rest of his days. On my 40th Birthday, he gave me a signed copy of The Devil's Anvil:The Assault on Peleliu by James H. Hallas. He was typical of his bretheren, and was the most humble and unassuming person you could meet. He will be missed.
 
Well darn. It's a shame to see them going so fast. Time waits for no man and he's now in a better place.

I hope his landing at the Golden Gate is less traumatic than his landing at Peleliu.
