Thank you.
For the old man and his buddies the heroes were always some other guy, they would point out.

Something I always thought was fun.
He was home on shore leave 7 Dec 1941.
No phones at the family farm, put on his uniform and hitchhiked to Cincinnati, reported to a jammed recruiting station.
After some telegrams.
They ordered him to the East coast and the Yorktown.
