My grandparents had their five sons overseas during WWII at the same time all over the globe,imagine what that must have been like.Four came home alive,one,an Infantry Captain that served in Europe lost his mind and brought a wife home to my grandparents that had been keeping his wife and two children during the war.And one that was held as a POW by the Japanese that won't eat rice or anything that looks like rice to this day.Another that fought in the Battle of the Bulge that told me of having to keep the ice broken off his clothes in his foxhole,because if it had melted and wet him he would have frozen to death.My now 91 year old dad was a Navy CB armed with a Browning Automatic Rifle seeking out Japanese holdouts that were sniping at his unit building an airstrip on that island named Guam.They are truly the greatest generation.
