“My dad, God rest his soul, was in Europe in WW II.”
Mine, too, never said anything about it. The only thing he said was that he would never go to see fireworks displays. He said he saw enough fireworks on D-Day.
We know what he did though. It was written up in his citation for the Navy Cross, which he received from Pres. Truman. He detonated mines on Omaha Beach, and pulled floundering soldiers out of the water.
God bless him, what a brave and simple generation. We are losing these men daily and soon they will all be gone.
