Got a pleasant surprise today. I had submitted a letter to the editor for my regions newspaper, regarding the Battle of Savo Island. Today, I got a phone call from an older gentleman. It turns out he was with the 5th Marines on Tulagi, and witnessed the fighting that morning. Also, he had a brother who was on the Vincennes, and met up with him later in Brisbane, Australia afterwards. He thanked me for remembering, and encouraged me to keep writing letters. It was very touching, and I am glad I was able to talk with him.
Here is the article in question.
