My Grandfather drove a DUKW in the Mariana Islands during WWII - To him and all the other combat vets out there, Happy Veterans Day!

My father worked on that project! He worked on organizing the units that were to use amphibious vehicles in the South Seas during WWII. He was an officer in the Marines. What an awesome photo!
Such a cool connection!
That’s just a stock pic from the internet. I have some pics of him deployed, but none with one of his DUKW’s unfortunately.
Thank you. He died in 1966, so I really don't know too much of his history in the service. But my brother told me that Dad had told them the Marines had 5 divisions and he was working on the creation of the 6th that utilized the amphibious vehicles.
