There’s a lot of names on old community monuments listing their servicemen and women who died during WW II to save Great Britain, France and Europe. That was my Daddy’s war. A number of his classmates from high school never came back. RIP, to those who gave their all.
My dad was too young to fight in WWII. His older brother was on a transport headed for Japan when the war ended. My dad served in Korea and Vietnam during those wars, though.
