Did the passion for history or recognition of history, did that start at a very young age? Was your dad making you watch World War II documentaries? No,

my dad was a veteran of World War II.

He was a Marine.

He graduated high school.

Well, he turned 18.

December 16th of 1943, and he volunteered for the Marine Corps the next day.

Less than a year later, well, no, a little bit over a year later, he found himself in the Battle of Okinawa.

It's the reason they give Oscars for documentaries.
