I have a few pics of Oscars at sawar drome new guinea shot by my dad. he earned the bronze star their, & was screwed out of the silver star by a jerk off colonel. google pacificwrecks.com, go to veterans, or servicemen & to major martin m. friedman u.s. army & you'll see the pics & narrative I posted when dad was 88 years old. he'd be 97 today if he didn't pass away 5 years ago. great pics!!
