Grandpa packed an M1919 machine gun all over Europe. His buddy carried the ammo.
He came back to the USA on the Queen Mary. One day, I'll take the kids to Long Beach, California to see it.
Over the course of his tour, he received several medals, but all he'd tell us was that he'd seen enough death and fighting to cover the next 3 generations of men in our family.

Greatest generation indeed. Mail ran on time. Deliveries on time. Trains never late. Those old WWII guys were disciplined and straight down the line. God bless 'em and God blessed us for having them as role models.
My daddy fought all over the S. Pacific. Never talked about it other than comical occurrences.

Some of these stories are amazing... It is a shame that we can't multi quote...

Killed on Christmas Eve in Italy.
