Where we come from. In honor of Memorial Day.
I met an interesting person lately. She lives in the Villages and is of German heritage. She then told me that her father had been on a German U-boat and they had been captured or taken to New York. Or, maybe, they were near there when discovered.
She had mentioned this because of my father's German name. He missed fighting in Korea but was on a US Army unit in Korea as a M.A.S.H. setting. His ancestors had come from Germany to the US in the 1850s and settled in central Illinois.
Getting this started in preparation for Memorial Day.
