I’ve told this story before but about 14 years ago a friend of mine at work was doing a documentary about veterans. My Uncle Jimmy who is 80 at the time I think decided to do the interview for me as a favor. He talked about being a machine gunner on a tank and crying as he mowed down Germans but they kept coming. He was also in the Battle of the Bulge. I never saw him look vulnerable before but when he told his story he did. He went straight to work when he got home at a belt making factory and worked there for 50 years. I wish I was half the man he was
