Wow. Sure must have shaken him to the core.
Ya know with all the talk of PTSD these days the greatest generation folks never seem to talk much about all that. They seem to take it in stride. I was a kid and maybe couldn’t see it in the Dad if it was there but he went to work every day and came home for 30 years and never a peep.
Kicked my butt a few times maybe that had something to do with it all who knows.
