You must be very proud of your Dad. Most men back then were quiet, humble, honorable and very decent men and citizens.
Yeah, he was quiet (usually), humble (mostly), and honorable and decent. He had a bit of a temper, which apparently, I’ve inherited. As has one of my sisters.
Anyway, yes, I am proud of him and his service. It must have bothered him that he had to do this, since he never talked about it. The only war story he would tell was when they liberated a winery somewhere in France. :)
