[@Ryan-mq2mi]

Yea even though we won and the justification for the war was viewed favorably, it was brutal, and I think the culture of the time, shunned weakness. I mean, this was a time when we were giving out death penalties for cowardice/desertion. A lot of the men just had to work it out on their own. American society quickly put the war in the rear view mirror. Must've been something else, man. Fighting a WORLD WAR in your teens and early 20's, then going from that to a safe, prosperous and sense of renewed society. My grandparents were one of many that were offered loans and special rates by Uncle Sam to buy one of many new homes, built in tracts with sidewalks, trees, a kind of early iteration of suburbs, and all of your neighbors were veterans and patriots. Of course, we know all of this coincided with the baby boom. So it was just moved on from, and many vets had "PTSD" or thousand yard stares or whatever, but there was no place to put that. Vast majority successfully buried it, to focus on all their newfound responsibilities of Families, and new jobs to support their single income households. God Bless your lineage and special thanks to you familial ancestry for helping securing me and mine, the opportunity to continue on in the greatest country in the world, of at least the last 250 years

My great uncle Jim was a British tank commander during D Day. He was sitting on top of the lead tank with the top hatch open when a German anti aircraft gun, with its barrel lowered, sent a shell directly into the front of his vehicle. He was blown 30 foot in the air suffering extremely bad burns and landed in a ditch. His life was saved when a platoon of African / American soldiers found him later that day. He was so badly burnt and blackened from his injuries that the African American soldiers assumed he was one of their own and he later regained consciousness in an American field hospital!
