Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 2733089, member: 1047"] Both my grandfathers served one was wounded at battle of the bulge, ( promising minor league baseball player when he left, couldn't walk without a major limp the rest of his life because of the shrapnel in his hip and leg) the other was in Okinawa. But they would never ever discuss it. Ever. I would've loved to learn more about their experiences but I had to respect their need to leave the memories (of what I can only imagine being a living hell on Earth) behind them. Greatest generation indeed. [/QUOTE]
