Most of my reading has focused on Western Europe. I’m looking for a basic overview of the Pacific campaign (land not naval). I will eventually read Toll’s trilogy, but not yet. I have read With the Old Breed, but that is the extent of my Pacific exposure. Thanks in advance.
Just finished Rick Atkinson’s trilogy, what should I read next?
If I see the UC health commercial, about the dummy falling off a mountain, one more time I’m going to lose my damn mind. #makeitstop
My father (deceased) was awarded a BSM while serving in Vietnam (CO A 501st SIG BN, 101st AB Div.)
I have his DD214, but I am wondering if I can get the orders for his BSM. Out of respect for him I never asked him about it while he was alive, but I would really like to know a little more. I know that he was in and around Firebase Ripcord, Bastogne, and Rakkssan, the A Shau valley and Hue. If anyone knows how I could access those records I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
Help a brother out!
