I'm looking forward to reading this. It really puts things into perspective being able to read the accounts of participants from a first person view. Memories often die with their owners, but with paper documenting their exploits and experiences their adventuring will always stay alive.

Thank you for getting this posted. If you wondered what daddy 'sounded' like, his writting style is the same as his speaking style -- same word usage and sentence structure. I only wish I had something to share that showed his sense of humor.

There, on page 28 of the diary he mentions his .45. I got a chill.
Simply amazing, as a few pages later he loses his rifle, and is forced to use his .45 to fight the Chinese.
Later he tells how he, uhem, procured it after being ordered to evacuate.
A statement from a marine he quoted:
"The Chinese Communist forces may not have known who we were, but they sure as hell found out in a hurry"Comment
