Chris, they truely were the greatest generation. They made it through the depression, fought through WW2 and raised families afterwards. All the time keeping the hardships to themselves. My dad fought through the Pacific and was in the first wave to land at Tarawa. He survived that and was seriously wounded on Saipan. He passed away in 06. They were all ordinary people who did Extrodinary things when called upon.
