Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for December 07, 2015

Kudos to Guy Gilchrist for once again being at the head of the line when it comes to remembering Pearl Harbor Day! My Uncle Gabe – in the picture at the left – joined up BEFORE Pearl Harbor. In those days, if you went into the service BEFORE you were drafted – you had some leeway in choosing what type of service you wanted to be trained for – and he was trained for radar – which – at that time – was top secret. My Uncle Loren was on a troop transport, headed toward Pearl Harbor, when they learned about the attack on Pearl Harbor. Uncle Loren arrived in time to be part of the mopping up operation, and helped take care of a lot of the wounded. What would be great would be to see some of the Fritzi-Phil-Nancy and Sluggo strips which were published during World War II. I remember Nancy and Sluggo helping to publicize the availability of War Bonds!

Kudos.

Thank you for doing this.

I found out two months ago, my Bio. professor was on the Battleship Nevada at Pearl Harbor and served on her through the whole war. He is 92 now and looking good, lives in MN. I graduated class of 1980. I called him on Veterans Day, our first talk in 35 years.

Very beautiful, thank you, Guy…

I did initially think that ‘John’ was Fritzie’s former husband. I don’t know how she ended up single and Nancy’s ‘Aunt’.

That said, don’t forget our female veterans! Good job, Guy!

Such a great entry today, I’ll even ignore the fact that (given Fritzi’s true age), we’re seriously doing the Time Warp again. Always remember!

Thank you to all who served!

My uncle was there also. One of the rare individuals to be on both eastern and western theaters. Came home with a couple purple hearts and Silver Star (from Pearl Harbor). Never talked about it. Only found out about his awards after he died.

Thanks Guy, so many died, some many forget,

Glad to see someone remembered. I have been waiting to hear about Pearl Harbor Day all morning and I havent heard a thing. not even on the news.

What a shame USA

Never forget….never forget……..

As I said in an earlier strip. I wonder how many people remember about Pearl Harbor is about?

starting with the Korean war on forward.-Thanks for remembering the veterans of our “forgotten war.” Few Americans remember we were involved, but the South Koreans are very thankful.

Thanks, Guy!

I WISH YOU WOULD BRING BACK TODAY’S DOGG, EVEN IF ONLY ONCE A WEEK!

My dad was there on D-Day and at the Battle of the Bulge. Army Ranger.

Ummmm, Gaunt?“though the tv series lasted almost twice as long as the actual war "?Korean war June 1950-July 1953 (3 years)MASH: Sept. 1972-March 1983 (11 years)

Did you mean twice as long as ANOTHER war? Because it sure wasn’t Korea.
