Morning Jack. Kate had told me your father served in the Army but didn't know all the details and now I do. How wonderful for you and family to have such a great father. My pops was named William too and he served in the Navy and very proud of him as well. Thanks again for such an informative Talking to America. I do look forward them. Interesting about how chemo came about and that it does save some lives.

It's good to be reminded of the sacrifices made on our behalf before we were even born by people we think we know... thank you, Bill!

I remember your first posting of this attack. Just glad Bill survived the war, met your mom etc. I miss them.

He was already 25 when he was drafted, in the army until he was 30.
