I was able to FINALLY able to get my dad to talk about WWII with me. He is 86. He is a Navy veteran and flew F-4U Corsair’s during the war. I guess he figured that I would be able understand now that I am crowding 60. I had asked him about it for many years. He begged me not to go into the service. He told me that after what he, and my uncle’s went through that us kids shouldn’t have to go to war. My dad is the only one of his immedate family and friends who served that is still alive.
