When I was young my dad did not talk about his
service in World War II. He was an
infantry man and fought on the front lines. I’m quite certain some of the
things that happened and some of what he saw was disturbing. (The word “disturbing” is probably putting it
mildly.)
I recall hearing him say this on several occasions: “If
I told people what happened there, they wouldn’t believe me.”
When I was older he told me a few stories. I can only imagine.
I have a significant awareness of the fact that men
and women—in some cases very young men and women—have had to do incredibly
difficult things in order to provide for the freedoms we enjoy.
Thank you to all of our Veterans. Thank you for considering duty, bravery,
dignity, service to others and valor to be of worth and importance. You have my utmost respect!
