2000 post contest

[Devil Doc]

Ok, I didn't even notice that I'd reached the 2000 post plateau. So, I guess we'll have a contest. Everyone is invited to join. All you have to do is answer this one question.

On June 13, 1944 the USMC invaded the island of Saipan. During the course of this battle a dying Marine wrote the following tribute to Hospital corpsman:

"Where angles and Marines fear to tread, there, you'll find a Corpsman dead". Where did he write it? First correct answer gets something sweet.

Doc.

Korea...I think.

Guadalcanal

Reaching up to his own bleeding wounds, the Marine wrote on the back of the Corpsman's bullet riddled shirt.

The correct answer is, on the corpsman's back. tkoepp had the first correct answer. I'll get your winnings out this Friday. By the way I got the location of the battle wrong. It was at Guadalcanal and not Siapan as I had remembered the story incorrectly. :blush: Thanks for playing.

Doc.
