[QUOTE="rmcva, post: 442959, member: 5473"] I've sure enjoyed watching this film. My Dad and two of his brothers were in that war. My two uncles passed some years back but Dad is still kicking. He's 86 now and on vacation with my Mom and sister right now. Dad was in New Guinea. Then on to Leyte, Luzon and Peleliu(can't remember the order but he can). One of my uncles was in the Invasion of Saipan. He and Dad passed and got to talk to each other(for a few minutes) right before the plan to invade Japan. Then the bombs were dropped. Dad was in a army intellengance unit that copied Jap. code 24-7's. They never sent, just received. Dad said when they landed in New Guinea he weighed 160 pounds. When they left he weighed 108. Said they nearly starved several times. He always talked about the heat. One of the hottest places on earth from what he said. They all went through some bad times there. [/QUOTE]
