    for doing this.....again. I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure there was a Vandergrift who was Commandant of the Marine Corps, at the end of WW2. Marine Corps service does seem to be generational thing.
    
    it tastes like burning...

      but he would be too young for WW2. Perhaps it was his grandfather? Interesting and thanks for sharing.
