The Greatest Generation on the longest day.

My dad chased subs in the North Atlantic mainly. He was blasting the Nazi shoreline that long day.

God bless these brave men and their families.

My first wife's grandfather took his own life 10 years after returning from Belgium in the war, he couldn't deal with normal life and developed some risky habits, mainly gambling.


I don't see how a young man could go through actual battle and not be damaged for life.

Many returned stateside and did things like form 1% motorcycle clubs. I cannot blame them. You create adrenaline junkies for life, in war.
