Awesome!

My grandfather was in WWII. I wish he were still alive so I could talk to him about it. I was too young/naive/ignorant to appreciate what he was a part of during our time together. My father was in Vietnam, but he won’t say much about it whenever I try to get him to talk about it.

Understand, my dad is 87 and still in pretty good health, but like most WWII veterans doesn’t talk much about those times. These pictures help us gain some insight into what it must have been like.

Those of you with relatives who served in the military during WW II should check the registry of the World War II Memorial. If they are not already listed, you can enter their names.
