My grandfather was captain of a destroyer escort in the Atlantic. Protected shipping convoys. 27 years old when he was given his appointment. Crazy to think about.
The convoy war doesn't get enough credit. Without them there's no Normandy or Okinawa etc

My dad turned 19 on the troopship to Europe, he worked his way through replacement channels and ended up in the Madgdeburg area on May 7, 1945. The first jet he ever saw was a Messerschmitt that his AAA battery opened up on.
Only one uncle, but a couple of great uncles served.
