an old iwo vet, jack sherwood lives near me on eastern long island. he was wounded after 19 days on the island and did not get medically discharged till 1948. i visit him from time to time. he's still sharp as a tack and when asked about enlisting in the marine corps, he never hesitates with his response,
"I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

i guess i'd just like to offer some encouragement to you fine you men and would like to wish you the best of luck.
