JD... Thanks for sharing the riveting memories of your great uncle. The little I know of my father's time in England, France and the Pacific islands is very precious to me. Along with pics and letters I have, the knowing of what all went through during the war gives me all more reason to feel the blessing of what we, as Americans, have to be grateful for. My father and I, as many others, spent many hours together running trains and building our layouts. Always trains when Christmas came around, something to add each year, along with birthdays. Yes, they were, are, the greatest generation and our debt to them immeasurable.
