M422A1 Posted April 9, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 9, 2019 Rest In Peace, you have earned it! I have probably read his book three times, maybe more. An excellent read. And for those who don't know, RV was Eugene Sledge's squad leader on Peleliu & Okinawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
