Thanks, Rocky for posting this. Not only did the story bring tears to my eyes it made me remember a fine man I worked for as a teenager.

Ron served in the South Pacific on several islands. In his desk was a stack of photos taken from the wallets of Japanese soldiers he had killed. They were of the soldier usually with his family. One day he leafed through the pile and told me how each one happened. Ron still carried shrapnel in his body from his service when I knew him and had lost much of his hearing in one ear from a bullet that just missed his head. He's been gone for years but I still love and admire him.
