    One amazing man . not being military I can not salute him to me that would be disrespectful . but I will take my hat off and say thank you . I am sure having a cup of coffee with him would be one well spent afternoon .
    very humble and they would have a hard time finding some one to honor the memories of those who served as this gentleman did

    when he said he married the daughter of a kamikaze pilot after the war, he had made the transition from combatant to human. to some it never happened. and her still sees the need to fight evil wherever it is. I too tip the hat and say thanks for the 16,000,000 people like him that fought in that war.
