Kali was a happenin' place during the War. My MIA uncle trained at Hamilton Air Field before deploying to the South Pacific and his fate. My aunt received several letters from him while there. Told her he got issued some warm weather clothing; his way of telling her which way he was getting sent with the OA-10 Catalinas.

Mare Island was also a refit depot for the Navy; submarines and ships alike. My other uncle got off the sub there after his stint in Dutch Harbor, and got onto the USS Wadleigh after it was almost blown in half by a mine and towed home.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
