Edward Rex Griggs 1943 in New Guinea.Daddy was in the Oregon National Guard - The Sunset Division (which was honored at the 2009 "Civil War" with the players of both the Oregon and Oregon State teams wearing the divisions insignia on their helmet.
I just looked up the Sunset Division in WWII and daddy faced pretty terrible things in New Guinea - no wonder he never talked about the "war" part.
I do know that he loved making "jungle juice" and having fun with his friends from Union - who became life long friends.
