re: Relatives that served in World War 2

My stepdad was on a sub. He told no stories, but he came home in one piece. He went on to earn his PhD in underwater acoustics from Yale. He was such a great guy, and he passed away last year.

Apparently, my grandfather had a lot to do with inventing napalm along with the delivery system that was used to great success on Iwo Jima. Later on, he invented Calgonite and became a Boyd professer at Camp LSU.

We'll never be as great as these men were, unless we have to be. We are Americans, and we always find a way!

Rise above, my friends.
