With the amount of info/videos, etc available today on the WWW, I am torn with emotion.
My dad served in WWII from 6/19/41 - 9/28/45 in the Pacific theater...along with two of his brothers.
My mom brother was in the 101st and dropped into Normandy, Market Garden, etc.
I never heard any of them talk abouth the "horrors" of war, only the good times and funny things.
The "I am torn with emotion" part is, how would it effect them today if they were alive and able to see all the stuff that is now out there for the viewing.
My fear would be it would be too emotional for them.

I recently heard death referred to as “man’s last true friend” and I know that’s not a reality for everyone. But for those old vets, seeing what this country has turned into, death truly is a friend.
