Good Monday Morning!
Over this past weekend I finally decided to set up a parallel Facebook site to this blog.

See you here -and there!
I started this history blog to celebrate my late father, Herbert Bingham Mead. He served in the U.S. 1st Marine Division in China 1945-1946. His wish was for me to research and publish a book on those extraordinary days when he and his comrades were stationed in Tianjin and Beijing, China. Today we salute the service and bravery of those extraordinary men -and the people of China who endured and befriended them. Semper Fi!

My father's Samurai Sword from World War II
This morning I stopped by the archives of the Greenwich Historical Society. Years ago I decided to donate a special gift I received from my late-father on my 13th birthday.
Dad said that he acquired the sword in Tianjin, China. It was the day the Japanese Empire surrendered. Dad was at the train station in Tianjin.
