My dad was a World War II veteran, who I’m sure had a lot of harrowing and exciting stories to tell of his time overseas. He never told them although I wish he had. When I asked him one day about why he never shared his experiences with us, he said it was because he didn’t do anything that anyone else “over there” didn’t do. He said that he was honored to serve a great country like ours.
