Just found out today that a WW2 vet that was a good friend of my dads passed away. He was a Demolitions expert in the pacific and was one of the first to hit the beaches at Iwo Jima. I never got to meet him but we had set up a day when I was going to interview him on his life experiences, I was really sad to hear of his passing.

His name was Joe Beadey.

This RIP also goes out to all the other WW2 vets who are no longer with us.
