[QUOTE="Froglaw, post: 3173925, member: 4921"] Dad was 17 when he joined the Navy to fight Imperial Japan and the European Facists Regimes. By 1943 and 1944, the war in the Pacific was against Japan and so off he went with the SeaBees to fight, build, and pave the way for bombing the island of Japan. I can’t imagine me doing much at 17 outside of high school, working at McDonalds, taking my girlfriend out in my Ford Fairlane (no AC), and messing around with my buddies. Dad and his high school friends went out, along with our Allie’s, and kicked the ever loving stuffing out of Japan, the Hun, and the Italian war machines. VE Day and VJ Day meant something to those guys, our Dads. As Dan Jenkins (RIP) wrote, “we dropped the big stereo on Japan and got back to college football and golf”. God Bless them all. [/QUOTE]
