Jim served in the China, Burma, India theater throughout most of the war. He returned home with severe bouts of maleria but eventually recovered. I remember him as a hero of my childhood and a great friend.
Dad entered as a volunteer army recruit March 20, 1941, was discharged September 20, 1945. Overseas, April 1943, came back September 1945. In Combat on Attu, Kwajalein, Leyte, Okinawa, Marshall Island, Kwalalein, and the Philippines.
My father, James H. Young fought in the Korean War. He was injured there and suffered throughout the rest of his life. He was always proud of his service to his country and would have gone again in an instant if they asked him. He was passionate about flying the Stars and Stripes and was known to let others know the right way to respect our flag. Up until his death, he never changed his support of our country and freedoms. Fittingly, he passed away on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2000.
Even though my grandfather has suffered in a war, he still believes to live life to the fullest and protects his family.
Served during Vietnam, Desert Storm and Noble Eagle and retired as Master Chief Petty Officer with 31 years of service.
World War II veteran, decorated with the Bronze Star. A heart warm thank you to all of our WWII vets.
Thank you for serving dad.
Time hasn't stopped although you are gone from our lives, with each beat my hearts takes...I think of you!
A quiet man with a big heart.
