With the Old Breed....

My dad was in the European Theater, crossed the Channel the day after D-day. Luckily he didn't have to serve in the Pacific too.

My father's brother was in Europe. My mother's brother was in the 82nd Airborne...they all survived the war.

Ok... the farther we get from a historical event the less we understand about the feelings of the people that lived it.

I know, my undergrad thesis was, "How and Why the US Became Involved in the Vietnam War." Labor unions organized anti-hippy bashing demonstrations in support of the war....
