Yes I grew with the stories. My dad quit school tried to join they said he had a bad heart. My uncle drove the redball express,another uncle drove the Burma road.My dentist went in on the first wave at Normandy made it to Berlin. My father in law combat engineer,Torch,Anzio,Southern France,Battle of the Bulge where he received a Purple Heart. He came face to face with a Tiger Tank. He said it sat there then backed up. Of all the combatants There ages and how they adapted to the war just just amazing. The stress they brought home I could never imagine. Millions of personal stories I imagine. I think about them. I also think how as a nation did we produce so much ,and deliver these war supplies?
