My father joined the Marines in 1938.  He was a carpenter and rigger and was 
building Scofield Barracks in Pearl in Dec 1941.  He was in several 
invasions of Pacific islands and was badly wounded on Guam in 1944 while 
clearing out a cave.  They sent him home and he was here to do what several 
thousand other returning servicemen were doing when the war ended, starting 
a family.  I was born in March of 1946.
