My father served 30 yrs in the Army Air Corps, which became the US Air Force. He was stationed at Pearl Harbor 11-12 years before the attack, served in the south Pacific during WWII...he had currency from all the countries on the Pacific Rim (Peru, New Guinea, Netherlands Indies [now Indonesia], Phillipines, Australia, Occupied Japan...he even some US Dollars that were marked just for Hawaii, in case the Japanese ever invaded). I have been led to believe he was in Quartermaster(supply), I don't believe he ever heard a shot fired in anger. When the Korean conflict broke out, he had just married my mother & my brother had just been born...he decided to spend his tour of duty in Korea so he could get his points early & get back stateside sooner...in Japan, they fould a blind spot in his peripheral vision, & sent him home. Even tho he never seemed to be in real jeopardy, he did serve his country proudly for three decades, & was buried with military honors...he is at rest in the Field of Honor, & on this day I do take a moment to go thank him & his comrades for making the world a little better for my generation...
