That reminds of my Grand Dad! Tough was not the word, maybe Super Tough. It brought a smile to my face when I read your post. GP always called them Japs. He would never buy anything made in Japan or China! I am still a little that way, but the choices are getting pretty narrow!DanSmacky wrote:Amen to all the above. My Grand Pappy landed at Iwo and Bougainville to fight the Japs and then fought the Chinese at the Chosin. Retired Core, and, now is buried in Henryetta Ok. He was cleaning out his gutters and fell off the house at 86. He didnt survive the surgery to pin his ankle. I like telling of Master Chief, Mose W. Boyd, USMC, because there is a toughness that he and his generation represented that is seldom recognized in our culture today. Smacky
