Shirley, I asked my dad when he was still alive if he would go back to those islands of Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Saipan and show me where he was. He told me that he promised his maker if he ever got off the islands that he would never go back. I guess he kept his promise. The sand you sent me is as close as I will ever get to Tarawa. Thank you very much for your kind gesture.
DEAR EDG; I HAVES STARTED THIS POST THREE TIMES. NOW, I AM JUJST GOING TO SAY, I AM SO GLAD THE SAND MEANS SO MUCH TO YOU. THIS IS WHAT WANTED. YOU ARE MOST WELCOME. SHIRLEY
Dear Shirley: My vial of sand arrived today, safe and sound. Thank you very much for your time, and efforts to get this done for me...........Semper Fi,.......Ron Angleton
