Bruce, I share your same interest and passion for military history especially WW2 Pacific theatre but not exclusively. I've swam off the invasion beaches of Saipan and toured the island. Pillboxes, Japanese tanks and artillery pieces still litter the invasion beaches. But the most moving experience I had in the Pacific was visiting the American Cemetery of the Pacific just outside Manila. If that hallowed ground does not move one to tears, they're not human. Not my intent to hijack this thread, just wanted to respond to something Brice said earlier in this thread that moved me
