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!
