Brought back to the states by Grandpa MacDonald in 1946, after the Japanese Surrender in WW2. He served aboard the USS Flint CL-97, an Atlanta Class light cruiser.
She was launched in 1944 with Grandpa MacDonald onboard as the radarman. She paricipated in the landings at okinawa, luzon and Iwo Jima providing cover for marines. she apparently saw lots of combat...rescued pilots, and prepared the way for invading Japan. After the surrender she was briefly stationed in Japan and thats where George obtained this souvenir. I know little about it....he never talked about the war or anything for that fact....I only know he saw the Yorktown go down. It appears to be an Arisaka Type-38 rifle and Type-30 bayonet. I dont know if it was ever used but it is a mean looking thing....a reminder that the marines faced in the S Pacific a sophisticated and capable army...one that left many Americans behind in the wake of brutal and ugly fighting (read E B Sledge's "with the old breed" for a hair raising description of the horror of warfare...and the ability to forgive, move on and see hated enemies with a new consciousness)

This is the Mormon Temple in Bethesda, MD. The bridge that crosses the beltway just in front of us frequently carries the graffito "Surrender Dorothy!", when it's not blacked out by diligent road crews.

It did not take long to know who the winner was in this little confrontation. The crow, to escalate the row, took a few hopping steps towards the kite as if to challenge it. The kite then thought it best to quit the scene handicapped as it was with the precious twig in its beak. It took off, circled the tree and landed on the other side where the nest is being built. Thus ended this little tiff between the crow and kite. To know how it all began, click here!
