Someone you should know.

Arvil Stanley.

He was assigned to the 1st Marine Raider Battalion, A Co. in Virginia. He saw combat on Savo Island, of the British Solomons;Tasimboko, Guadalcanal; but it was at Battle of Bairoko Harbor, New Georgia that he would be wounded in 1943.

His real name? Grandpa.

Bloodspite's Grandpa.

I feel both more and less having read that. THe Lord's Host has one who shall be worth many at the End of Time in that one.
 
My thanks to both of you
 
BloodSpite, Wonderful story! Thank you for sharing, and please accept my condolences for your loss. Grandparents are very special people.
 
A beautiful tribute, Bloodspite. My condolences to you and your family. I wish I'd had the chance to know him.
 
You know, they are never gone. It's not just memories that you hold, but it's all the things that they teach you, the mannerisms, the way you walk and talk... All those things you possess and pass on to your children and all those around you. So, while they rest in the eternal kingdom of light, they will live on forever here. A man could ask no greater tribute. Condolences and hugs.
