I had a hs grad this spring.

You don't realize how young these kids were.

The moms that hugged their babies just when they'd grown, and never saw them again. Wow

Hossblur,
You statement puts things in perspective. Truly a remarkable generation. Strong people on both sides, both those who went and those who supported at home. God bless those "babies" and their mothers.

There's a book "The Filthy 13" on Amazon. It's a good read. A bunch of rebellious misfits, mostly.

Wow! My good friend’s uncle landed at Saipan as well. Small world. My grandpa was a medic. I’ll have to get his unit information. He ended up stay at the air base at Guam

Dad went ashore on Utah Beach two days after D-Day and was in Germany when the war ended. I took him to see Saving Private Ryan and he insisted we leave after the first 15 minutes.

My ex's grandpa was in Normandy, second wave. He was injured twice that day, shrapnel and getting a knife in the bicep. He killed the kraut, hand to hand. He said it was a tough, tough day. I offered to take him to see Saving Private Ryan when it came out and he declined. He's been gone for about 15 years or so.
