Thread Name: Ken Burns: The War
Subject: RE: Ken Burns: The War
Alba, here's a link to my dad's childhood friend's site: Warrior Saga. He figures he'll probably live to be the last WWII vet as he is in incredibly good shape at 93, no medications and no real ailments! Here;s a little bit about him:

The mission of this site is to chronicle the military careers of individuals who have not previously shared their sagas. Initially, the military saga of Floyd Coleman will be presented; others to follow at a later time. Floyd Coleman served in World War II and the Korean War; he was involved in the development and testing of some of the early tanks used in the war. If anyone has questions or can contribute to the mission of this site, please feel free to communicate.

There are a lot of period photos and documents scattered throughout his story, and a lot of details of where he went and what he did.
