This summer my sister Amy took Mom and Dad to the Akron Ohio library to record their stories. These oral histories are now preserved at the Library of Congress.
Dad on the Battle of Iwo Jima after surviving the mortar attacks: "I thought I was real lucky". What his commanding officer (later the Commandant of the Marines) said about Dad: "Reeves was a good man". After he and Mom first met: "We kind of took to each other".
Mom says "Everybody's story should be told". Her anecdotes: "Stick to the basics". "Love one another". "Family is the most important thing".

AKRON. Wow I miss that whole area. I was tdy there for 7 months and I fell in love with Ohio. It was like living in another country. I still remember my address from the hotel... I so want to take my husband there someday. My x's dad fought in that battle too. I do genealogy and one day a lady sent me a copy of a letter he had written to the family telling them that their son didn't make it. It was so sad. I work for the Marine Corps, so this Lo is very touching to me. Thanks for sharing this special "story" FAVE!
