Scott Riley Ted is a good friend and has only recently in the past 4-5 years begun to have memory issues. I work at the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in SW Florida. Ted was one of the early Audubon Bird Wardens here in the Naples area and had an amazing career as a avian scientist and one of the most dedicated environmentalist you’ll ever meet. An amazing man for sure! I’m fortunate and blessed to call him Friend.

G'day, Yeah, he's struggling to remember pretty much EVERYTHING he ever did, except for the stuff which he's been trying to forget - ever since it happened. It's actually pretty common..., particularly among old Combat Veterans - when and if they undergo any kind of Dementia, from Alzheimers Disease, through Korsikoff's Psychosis, Vascular Dementia, Parkinson's Disease or Huntington's Chorea.... Between October 1980 & January 1984, while I was a Student Nurse at Repatriation General Hospital, Concord, Sydney (Oz)...., I nursed some 2,000 Veterans of every Military Adventure which Oz had participated in, from 1914 to 1984, for an average of 10 days per Veteran...., so I've seen a fair bit of this. Not knowing his own birthday, or even where he was trained or stationed prior to Combat - but vividly remembering his FIRST Combat - and also all the scariest moments, and the angriest moments, and the happiest moments..., of the whole War - that's "Par For The Course", for whomsoever grows sufficiently old. Because..., all of that stuff was burned indelibly into his Permanent Memories, back when his Hippocampus was totally saturated with Adrenaline & Cortisol, and his Amygdala was fully overloaded. This is all of the stuff which he's spent the rest of his life in trying not to think about... Because..., Everything MATTERS ; In the Long Run...! Such is Life. Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

The pain from the battle and the suffering he experienced on Iwo Jima are just palpable with this old Marine. I can't imagine being 18 or 19 years old and being asked to do what these fine men did. They were boys really. They laid it on the line for us and that's something that I'm always grateful for and very proud to be part of a military family, although I never served my father was a World War Vet as well as my mom.

He had to rush up to enemy emplacement openings, without getting shot dead getting in position, staying there in the open having to start the 19-second TNT fuse and count to 17, again for 17 seconds without getting shot dead while counting, then hurling TNT satchels into cave openings. His buddies decapitated head rolled across him immediately upon exiting the landing craft. This is incomprehensible to us.

I know he wanted to visit there before he died. '' He never did'' . P.S I am proud to say i served 20 yrs in the USMC. And so did my Father served in the USMC during the Vietnam War.

Interesting listening to the stories of these American WW2 veterans about how many of them had to supply their own sidearms. In the example here, he supplied his own Smith & Wesson revolver from home. In another account I heard the Marine veteran tell a story about how he requested a Colt 1911 from his mother back home in Texas. She managed to acquire the pistol and spent days on a train to travel to San Diego and delivered it to him within days of him shipping out to Iwo Jima. I had assumed wrong that just about all soldiers had U.S. government-issued sidearms provided. Sounds like many soldiers and Marines had to fend for themselves if they wanted a sidearm.

It still amazes me with each interview I see with a WW2 Vet, That they all couldn’t wait to get involved in the war. Went right down to the Recruiter Office to enlist on their 18th Birthday. Even in many cases, lying about their age so they could join. All these guys have seen and experienced things we never could fathom. The Horrors of War. It also resonated with me that all these guys would say “Sure I was scared. But we had a job to do! I didn’t think anything was going to happen to ME. It was going to be the other guy, If anything.”

I’m a little confused about what sort of so called human - would be able to press the thumbs down button on a video like this. It’d frightening to think that they are out there. These interviews should be mandatory educational videos for all our kids, and maybe a few politicians. I cannot thank you people enough for making sure these hero’s are not forgotten, and the horror that they endured will not be forgotten, and for the love of God - never again repeated. It would be nice to live in a world where there was no war, but the reality is that we do not - so thank goodness that there are people out there willing to lay down their lives, so that the rest of us can continue ours.
