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.

My Dad was in a sub in the Pacific. As I got older, he would indulge into more stories.
I could see in his eyes though, there was a lot that remained untold.

Yep. My Dad is 88 and lives with me. He is active in the American Legion, but has no interest at all about WW2. Even threw away all his service ribbons and memorabilia. Last WW2 movie he saw was The Longest Day when it was released.
