My Uncle Joe went ashore on Utah Beach on D-Day.
My Uncle Johnny was transferred to General Stilwell’s baseball team in India and spent most of the war playing ball.
My Uncle Bob was a medic who served with Desmond Doss in the Pacific (and thought he was a prig). Then he served in Japan during the occupation.
My Great-uncle John, Lt. Col. John Christian, was blown up in Rangoon Harbor in Burma as the war closed. He had been the U.S. Army Liaison to Lord Mountbatten and was in Army Intelligence, as he was the top U.S. expert on Burma.
I haven’t forgotten.
