My Dad. South Pacific. Malaria after Okinawa. 85 years old and my hero.
Just curious- was your dad with the Second Marine Division? (I can't remember if they were the ones that hit Okinawa.) My uncle (who died in 2006) was with the Second Marines; I know he was on Tarawa, Tinian, and Guadalcanal. Not sure where/when, but he also contracted malaria, and spent quite a bit of time hospitalized in New Zealand.
