My Grandpa (he raised me) was a paratrooper and jumped into Normandy on D-Day. He told me many stories about it growing up but would hardly ever tell anything that involved death or killing.

My grand dad was in WWI. In some of the major battles. Was gassed several times and blown up into a tree by mortar fire. Left for the war with black hair, came back with white. Was in hand to hand fighting, and with bayonnetes. I read some letters he got from fellow soldiers after the war. They never wrote about the battles but about getting in fights and drinking in the towns... they wrote of the "good times", not the bad.

the end when Ryan and his family are in Normandy, his wife reads Miller's name like she doesn't know who he was. You're telling me Ryan lives his WHOLE life and doesn't tell his family the story of the men who sacrificed themselves for him? That's the way it plays to me.
My grandpa served in France and Germany. About a month before he died, he and my dad talked for about two hours about the war. Dad said that's the most he'd ever heard about it from his dad.
I'd heard bits and pieces about it from my grandfather. We found all his ribbons and service medals in his toolbox in his garage. Some guys just didn't want to talk about it.

I think she knew who he was
She read the name and gave him a look that i thought meant she knew the story
