Interesting stories guys about your relatives/friends. I have heard in the past from my relatives they hate to talk about it because of just the sheer horror of losing your 'brothers' there in death or awful injuries and it was something many of them did not sign up for or yearn to be and do. They were drafted and had a job to do, but they were just normal boys/men like many of us thrust into life and death situations that they had no control over. I cannot imagine and I am sure I would not want to talk about it much either.
