My car show donated a thousand dollars to the local Honor flight orginization.
I had an uncle that was in the front lines in europe. I was told he had a family meeting for one chance to ask anything about the war then he wouldn't talk about again. He told of liberating the concentration camps, pow camps, the walking skeletons, piles of bodies and other atrocities. Things I won't post. My mother told me about it and to stay clear when he was asleep because he would come up fighting if there was a loud noise.
He lost a brother at Bouganville in the pacific. A couple more served in Europe too. My own father worked two war production jobs, moving coal and loading ice, at the end of it he looked like a pow himself. Mom said either of his bosses could see him out in the yard where we lived and if he was spotted they would always call him in to work.
