Was a WW2 bad-ass.
Just a kid when he enlisted.
Assigned to a special unit in the Pacific.
That unit carried out a "Guerrilla War" against the Japanese behind enemy lines.
He didn't talk much about it.
But was proud of what they accomplished during the war.
A few books were written and a movie was made about the men who served in the 5307th Merrill's Murraders.
The old pruney guy on the left sitting next to my Granny is the aforementioned bad-ass.
They both died a year or two ago now.
(And less than a month apart from eachother)
My old Grandpa.
Today is his day.
