It is really the vietnam side that opened my eyes in the late 70s and early 80s because by that time the time i was old enough to absorb things as a young teenager, the family members on my side were well beyond their service.

I dont remember my uncle talking about world war ii until i started doing this work in the and then i would take him everywhere and give him talk. He would spend memorial day at the concert. He unfortunately passed away. This past october. As did my brother in law who was a combat that in vietnam. Stayed in the army for 22 years.
