    Larry, thank you for the interview with my Dad. It great to hear his voice again,. As you know, he passed away in 2016 and sorely missed by the family. We will sit down as a family and watch the interview with his Grand children. Thank you again and God bless you.✝️🇺🇸

    We are so lucky to have had these heroes looking out for us, without having known us. It's hard to believe what they left behind so we could enjoy what we have.

      Tom's story was outstanding, different, but very moving. He tells it like it is. I could see why he made a good cop.

    My Grandpa & Grandma met in the service. They met in Germany during WW2. They both were in the medical field. She actually out ranked him .... She an Officer and he an Enlisted man... Great love story.

    My Great Uncle Zivo Bodroski was in the 4th Div. 23rd Marines. He was killed there ( near the airfield) on the 2nd day by a large shell as it was explained by a friend of his. He was from Dearborn Michigan and was 21 years old!
    God rest all of their souls, both American and Japanese.
    Semper Fidelis.

    Thank you Cpl.McCarthy for you interview and service to our country. To me you sounded tired of the wars like most everybody else does. Maybe some day we will be thru with them👍🏻

      Thank you for your comment. This is one of my favorite stories.

    I suspect Mr. McCarthy is right... Freedom can be most easily defined when you don't have it. Let us hope we don't have to fight to get back what we currently have.
    I believe that is what you are saying too, Larry.

      Yes Chet, exactly. Our Veterans are rolling over in their graves watching many today let their freedoms slip away from them. They didn't die in vain, our Veterans. We are fighting for the same freedoms in our own country today that our veterans fought for on foreign foreign soil. Keep America Alert !!
