Just buried my Granddad today.

4. I'll bet they knew each other!

There were not that many of them, and there were many casualties, from combat and disease. Near the conclusion of the war, my dad went to China to be an MP until he was mustered out.

My dad finally spoke about this only after he went to Washington DC for the dedication of the WWII memorial. He saw some of his old buddies there. He even consented to an interview with someone who was writing a book about the Burma theater of war. I don't know who that was, or what happened with the book. My dad was 87 when he died, and he had dementia for the last five years of his life.
