What a pleasure to see this video!!! You are so lucky to have had such a man in your life for so long!

I’d guess many of us had parents in WWII - my father landed in N Africa and ended up in Roma.

The military would not take my father for a while as he was 6 ft and 120 pounds. Finally they got him, and he was in England and D Day was 2 weeks away, he was going to Normandy. Then an officer went into the barracks and asked if anyone could type, and my father was the only one who could, so they put him into an office. He did go to France and Germany a bit later.
