How blessed you are! I wish my dad and father in law were still with us. They both served bravely in WWII. My dad never talked about the war, but my husband and his dad had many talks about it. As a native American, (at a time when it was dangerous to be one) he started in the CCC as soon as he was of age, then joined the army as a cook before the war started, and served as an infantryman, pretty much crawling on his belly from North Africa, to Italy, France and Germany, til he was finally wounded badly enough to be sent home right before the war ended. I look forward to seeing them both again, in Heaven, so I can thank them for what they did for their country.
