    We are told to forgive & forget and move forward after conflicts/wars by the very same political bodies that sent so many young men to their deaths in the first place. I personally will never forget my mothers oldest brother who had a funny walk for a 6ft + man and rarely sad a word to anyone apart from the thrilling stories he told us about his life in Rhodesia. It was not until after he died I learned he had been a POW in the far east under the Japanese and tortured and one of his legs crushed. I remember as a young man blubbing like a little child when I first read what happened to him & knowing the pain he kept inside , yet this gentle giant never complained once that I ever know of. The sacrifice these men gave is beyond anything we can comprehend, and must always be honoured.

    And God Bless the parents and families who fully supported their Marine sons and daughters.
    Family support is critically important to a Marine.
    I know all of my fellow service members understand this point very well.
    May God continue to bless this noble Marine. Semper Fi

  15. Do tell

    From one veteran to another I salute you sir. My dad fought in the Pacific and told me that Okinawa was the worst. I fought in Vietnam. Take care Sir and bless you.

    It is amazing how young Paul looks and how well he speaks , I enjoyed listening to this interview I look forward to hearing the full interview.
    Thank you Paul and Rishi

    Thank you for your story. I’m glad the accounts of Peleliu are finally coming out. I had a client who was there: Bill Lakeland was a marine lieutenant. He lost an eye to grenade shrapnel there. Bill went on to serve in the State Department including posts in the Middle East & Europe. He & his wife missed being involved in a ETA bombing in Spain due to missing a connection.
    Once again – much appreciation for this work & these chronicles!

    Anyone of those battles would earn you bragging rights in any bar in America. All three is incredible. WW2 will be studied and talked about until we as a species are cease to exist. Whether that's next week or in a thousand years or more. To be able to talk to many veterans (not just ours but Germans as well) of the biggest event, war or otherwise, in our Earths history to date is hard for me wrap my mind around. Good for you Mr. Wohjan! You're one of a very few Marines I wouldn't dare poke fun of.

    Much Respect, Sir. Thank you for sharing your story, your service and leading by example for our future generations. <(-_-)

    My Dad served in WWII Navy and was captured by the Japanese forces and was a prisoner of was in the Philippines and survived the Batton Death March after 3yrs. He never talked about it much and I didn't know what he went thru until I enlisted in my Beloved Marine Corps in 69'. My Salute to All Service Members. Love and miss you Dad God bless and RIP!πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ‘

    GOD spared him because he had more good work for him to do,just as he is doing now.What a wonderful man.Truly one of a kind!

  27. Mike Flanagan

    One serious badass. Still sharp as a tack. Not sure today’s youth would respond in the same way as this hero and the rest of his generation did. Legend.

    What simple advice. Keep your nose clean. Actually it's a very big undertaking for many. " I get up everyday and try to do the right thing." My father taught me not by his words. Rather by his daily example .
    I'm amazed that so many men today can't even keep a driving license in their pocket. They're a damn disgrace and many having parents whom enable this behavior.
    I'm very proud of these men. Not only for serving , but the way they chose to live their lives. God Bless .

    Thank you Paul for the freedom my family embraces. Without men like you this would not be the world we enjoy. I'll repeat your story to others.

    My father was in the 18th Combat Engineer 2nd Marine Division. He was at Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan and Tinian. The 18th were flamethrowers and demolition men. He did not speak of the war until near the end of his life. A few 12:09 years before he died I found an envelope in a drawer with a medal and letter of commendation. When I asked him about it he said he was doing what he was trained to do. When I searched his records from the Marine Corp I found out it is a Bronze Star. His record contained the letter the colonel of the 18th wrote recommending him for this medal for his actions on Saipan. He never told anyone that he was awarded this or the Purple Heart. He told me the only hero’s are guys who don’t make it home.
    A few years before he died we were talking, not about the war, he suddenly said β€œ you don’t know how terrible it was to have to set human beings on fire. I hated them and they were trying to kill me but they were still human beings”.
    He had nightmares almost every night.
    Ordinary men did extraordinary things

    This man fought in PELELIU???? OKINAWA was a nasty fight too, but PELELIU was a different beast all together… I have all the respect for this man…
