My grandfather landed a week or two after D-Day. He was a combat engineer, and fought through the Ardennes, Belgium, The Bulge...

He never talked much about it, other than saying it was cold. He died at the age of 70-something when I was in highschool, before I really got to even know him.

I thought Dad would live to be that old. :(

My grandfather was a market gardener, and so was deemed ineligable to go because he was part of Vital Services. My mum's uncles fought in New Guinea. They never spoke about it.
