Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2732874, member: 271"] My grandfather never told me the things he saw in World War 2. He told me he wasn’t in combat and worked as a cook or something like that. Only after he died did I find out he was on the beach in Normandy and witnessed hell on earth. He didn’t want me to know what he’d seen or done during the war. Family legend is that he refused awards for his efforts because he was honored to be able to fight. He loved a good parade, especially for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July. His pride in this country is something I’ll never forget. He truly loved being an American. [/QUOTE]
