When I was in Korea in ‘52 several guys got “Dear John” letters from their wives. It completely devastated them. One I knew personally had a total change in personality. One of them in another company kept volunteering for combat patrols. There was a saying in those days, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder .... for somebody else.”
Brutal. Some soldiers sacrifice even more than their blood and lives.
Thanks for your service in ‘52. I was only 10 then and we kids were putting together boxes containing toiletries and other items to send to you guys.
