HA!

I heard very few stories, actually.

Great-Uncle Dick (quit laughing) had the best war stories:

“Where you in the Army, Uncle Dick?”
“Yep, but I never left the States. They gave me a bolt rifle and ran me up and down hills. Then they gave me an M-1 rifle and ran me up and down hills. Then they gave me a carbine. It made running up and down hills easier. Then they sent me home.”

I was extremely fortunate in that between my dad, his brother and his two cousins I heard alot of war stories…Marines, Army and Army Air Corps….alot overflowed to Korea…lotsa cool stuff
