My father, a young Marine at the outbreak of World War II (one of my pet peeves was seeing “Marine”, spelled with a lowercase letter “m”) signed up for the USMC shortly after the war ended. He fought the Japanese on the Pacific islands, as many others in the US military did. The good news is that he was able to make it home securely and also went on to be a distinguished leader in the USA Marine Corps.
