My dad passed away last June---he was a tank commander served in Europe went in a couple of days after D-day and was at the Battle of the Bulge. He received two Bronze Stars for bravery in combat. He only told me one war story about his capture of a German anti-aircraft emplacement. After the war he never picked up a gun again, but he bought me my first shotgun and .22 and encouraged me to hunt and enjoy the outdoors. He was a kind and gently man, hard to believe what that generation did for us.
My father-in-law was a Navy pilot in the pacific, he flew a PBY. last year at the Ohio Collectors Show they had the exhibitors dinner at the Air Force Museum and we had cocktails under the wing of their PBY------very cool in that my wife and I could see the plane her dad flew in WWII. Craig
