As many of you know i have been blessed these last 31/2 years.  I got to make friends on here andother web sites.  The best part is I got to meet some very great (at least to me) people in my life.  This Wendesday Feb 4th I met another. 
While waiting to see the Doctor at the VA this eldery man came and sat next to me.
We exchanged stories of our friends that died for the freedoms so many take for granted.  We also exchanged funny stories of these that affected our lives while in battle.  Then he sits back and says do I recognized him?  Of course I didn't and I said were you on IMO Jima? He laughed and said he supported by cover fire.  Then he reaches for his wallet.  Pulls out this picture and says have I seen this?
This was Glenn McDuffie the pride of the Navy and hated by the Marines LOL, a little humor there.  I asked him a ton of questions and the part that I remember the most is this:  He said so many people lied and tried to say they were the one.  He show me documents where it was proven by the Government that he truly was the man.
What a nice man and veteran he was.
