Default Re: V-J Day August 15, 1945

Is Richmond Bell still on here? He had an old Ford parts business in Wellfleet Ma. on Cape Cod for many years. He is a WW2 vet who was in the fight. I spent seven years in southeastern Ma. back in the 60s and 70s and my father in law bought model A parts from him. I have had two fathers in law and they both fought in the South Pacific. Okinawa and the Philipines. Never a war story from either.
