My late Father in Law Salvatore LaMacchia who was a SSgt in the US Army in WWII. He had come ashore via landing craft on three separate Japanese held Islands including both Guam and Okinawa. We had a great relationship and He had even told Me some things that He hadn't even shared with My Mother in Law. I don't compare MY experience with some of the things He had to do in WWII combat but it seems He felt comfortable talking with Me as a Viet Nam Veteran about some of those things which He never told anyone else. I do miss Him, He was a good man and someone that I could look up to. He was buried with Military Honors and three of His Four son in Laws were Veterans of the Armed Forces although I was the only one in a combat zone. I still think of Him often.

In the boonie cover is Sgt Zachary Jasper (Cpl at the time photo was taken). He took his own life not long after I rotated out of Okinawa. Never guessed he'd have been one to do it. We'd been through MOS School and our first units together; more or less. Most motivated Marine I've ever met.

My grandfather CPL Wayne Dale Allred, 26th AAA AW BN (SP), 1953-55, Quad-50 gunner. Died in '85 when I was 2. I was already branched Air Defense when I found out he was a quad-50 gunner in the Anti-Air Artillery in Korea. Now I really have to listen to my NCOs in Air Defense since he WAS one.
