My Dad got that thousand yard stare whenever I asked him to tell me about his WWII experiences which included D-Day plus 2, the Bulge, Huertgen Forest, St. Vith, liberating Dachau & walking back sixty miles as the Russians took over their sector. He told me some `Big Picture’ stuff but none of the details.

“Those who have seen the most talk the least.” It’s true.
