Thanks for the response. My father was a twin and his brother was also an AG. They split them up during basic and sent my uncle to the Atlantic and dad to the Pacific. Dad met up with his older brother a Seabee in Australia during one trip. My father would have been 87 in September. There are six childern in my family and I was the only one to join the military. My oldest son went to the US Merchant Marine Academy. I hope you are in good health. I certainly thank all that served.
