Shortly after returning from an all expense paid tour of the Pacific. (Dad on the right) That's his brother on the left. My Uncle joined the Marine Corps during WW2 and never left the states, for some reason. My Dad joined the Army in mid 1941 and landed knee deep in the Pacific's activities. Looks like the experience slimmed him down a bit. He was in the 6th Infantry. The 6th holds the record for continuous days in combat,..219 on the Island of Luzon during WW2.
