very emotinal, my great grandfather fought in WW 2 and stormed the beach and was shot twice once in the shoulder and once in the foot. he laid on the beach for 4 hours before being found by a medic. he died three years ago, i loved to listen to his storys. my father also served in the marines but decide to leave after his 4 years were up. the people who serve our country need more thanks than the recive some times. it was very touching.
