Rocky,
Joe Medina was there with my Dad. He said that my dad volunteered for every patrol because he thought digging holes and living in them on that beach, was no way to fight a war. They started calling him "Combat" because he was always eager to go up tp the front. Joe said he was always amazed at how Dad was so "Happy-go-lucky" about things that they went through.
I haven't spoke to Medina for awhile and will try to call this weekend. He was sounding pretty good the last time we talked but was suppose to get some things checked out by the doctors this month.
