My great-uncle Art was a nurse at a field hospital in England that cared for many of the casualties from the Normandy invasion. The courage of those men who willingly charged the gates of he!! to free a continent and protect their homeland is truly amazing.
“Sounds like your dad was an amazing man.”
Thanks. I think so, and also think the same about your Uncle.
It is unfortunate in one sense that my dad never spoke more about the war. It was only several years after he passed that I looked into his war record, the outfit he served with, and comprehending what he went went through.
To say least, I was awed, absolutely humbled, and at the same time, extremely proud.
