nihil - <OTOT. The Marines your father served with were probably the 1st Marine Division -- Enpress Augusta Bay or Cape Gloucester). It was also 1st Division that landed under (before) him at Inchon, in 1950. MacArthur was CINCH Southwest Pacific. Nimita was CINCH Central Pacific, also CINCPAC and CINCPACFLT (which included FMFPac.) Command of South Pacific moved from Nimitz (Guadalcanal) to MacArthur (Cape Gloucester, etc.).> You are correct. 1st Marines, Cape Gloucester, aka Fighting Bulldogs. Peleliu was a big stop for them, amongst others. With WWII, and its veteran's stories, being somewhat in fashion with Private Ryan, Brokaw's Book, etc., you can imagine how fortunate I feel to have and continue to be able to hear as many first hand stories as I want from my dad. All I have to do is ask. Of course, some of it is tragic, but I find his a lot of his experiences utterly fascinating, as well as emotionally moving and uplifting. My dad did not participate in the Korean War, but he has a coffee buddy who was at Inchon. PB
