He wasn't mad just about that he missed my mother. They had finally married tragically she and my other gran passed in a flash flood in California. I was one of the last to speak to him he was distraught he couldn't see me and the gran. We have family ties that kept some of this story under wraps but he was a happy , funny loving man that struggled emotionally after his wife my mom Cathy passed. She made him smile.ChiMontra Arts - A Toast to Life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13474385185984939951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-71526127352698527992019-05-27T10:04:34.620-05:002019-05-27T10:04:34.620-05:00I know that, now, but 20 years ago I didn't.I know that, now, but 20 years ago I didn't.

My online buddies who served in the Corps always corrected me whenever I wrote "former Marine" or "ex-Marine"...they repeatedly told me there's no such thing. <br /><br />Once a Marine, always a Marine.

My Uncle Jack returned from Guadalcanal to Hines hospital, suffering from shell shock. A Seabee at Henderson Field he survived the bombardments but never got over the experience. My Father, back from Palmyra Island with malaria and heart problems went to visit his wife's cousin, only to find him hiding under a table on the ward, shaking like a leaf. Even after the worst was over, he had physical tics until cancer took him far too early. For all those suffering from the horrors of war, the nation owes them more than can ever be rendered.
