My dad served in the Army Air Force during WWII.
He would never talk about his service other than tell us he was in the Aleutians and Iwa Jima. .Wish I would have gotten him to talk more about what he did/ |

WWII Documentaries
I've been watching some incredible documentaries on the war on Netflicks.

I agree, Stuart. Your and my Dad's generation carried the scars of what they had seen throughout their lives. I was in my 20's before he started to open up about it, when I was reclassed to 1A and on my way to the Naval recruiting office. Didn't want me to go.

In my opinion, the Pacific is the best WW2 movie, then band of brothers. Runner up is We were soldiers. Most realistic, hardly no flaws. Great special effects. Great stories. All based on true events. Just my opinion.

Like me, you probably wished you had gotten more stories before he passed. I'm grateful for the time I had with him as a young adult to learn more of his experiences.
