Don Whipple is one of six World War II Marine Veterans in the group Cooper’s Troopers that meets in north Denver. At the age of 16, right after graduating from high school, Don enlisted in the Marines by getting his parents to sign a permission slip. He reflects on his experience in San Diego entering boot camp as a “green farm boy” from Kansas who had never seen a stop light nor the ocean. Don eventually made his way across the Pacific and was in the second wave at Iwo Jima at the age of 17. He had a “hard time realizing it was the real thing” after all the drills previously performed. At one point he yelled out, “these guys are out to kill us,” as he witnessed a young pilot die after just learning that he had become a father to a baby girl. Don also talks about how he found the Lord, became a missionary and spread the Word of God, including how he was kidnapped in Southeast Asia.
