**********************

Much gratitude for your sharing that memory!

My paternal grandfather was a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne in WWII. Although I was a kid and he did not talk about his experience around me, I saw the shrapnel wounds on his legs. Your comment has motivated me to pursue garnering information from my papa - which I should’ve already done.

I have a longer and astounding story about the Brave Rifles and Ebensee that took place 50 years after the war but I’ll save it for a thread about such things.

Don’t delay. My dear mother passed away in 2007. So many times I have wished I had asked more questions.
