SILVER Star
Maybe my grandpa gave your grandpa a hand on the ship. I never got to meet him so I don't know much about his service other than he came away somewhat bitter. He was a Ford guy as well as my dad. I grew up in Mustangs. When I bought my first car I couldn't afford a Mustang yet so I bought an 89 celica gt for 500 bucks. Dad and I started to see the light when I realized I had run the engine with no oil for over three weeks and it didn't even hesitate to get up and go. I bought my 05 Mustang one day and I was a slave to it for 5 years. I sold it when I almost crashed in a snow storm and I went back to Toyota. Land Cruiser this time. I'd rather be a slave to a rusty old Toyota than a brand new Ford.When I was young I drove my 85 Toyota 4 runner. My grandpa never gave me any crap about driving a Toyota... but my dad sure did. My grandpa was a Marine in the Pacific during WW2. When they stormed the Island of Iwo Jima a mortar hit and wounded several in his troop including himself. He was able to get them safely back to the amphibious vehicle. While he was in the hospital he met a nurse who would became his wife. Later for his bravery he was awarded a Purple Heart. My dad and I still have our differences. He loves Ford. I love Toyota and Cummins.
