I am a 75 year old WWII veteran, married 50 years, and have a daughter, two sons, and ten grandchildren. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1/5/44 to 5/13/46. I went through boot camp in San Diego, then to Jacques Farm to study tanks. I left for overseas duty on the 6th of June,1944 and joined the Third Marine Division in August as the first replacement troops while the battle for Guam was still going on, although the island was secured on August 6, 1944.
