tribute to wwii veteran: Tribute to My Father in Law
- 05/24/09 05:17 PM
My Father-in-law joined the Navy at age 18 and served in Key West, FL and other places, before shipping out to the South Pacific in WWII. He is still with us at age 90. He talks about some of his life in the war but there is much that he chooses not to share. His was a brave and self-sacrificing generation who grew up in the Great Depresssion and then found their youth seized by a war. They didn't complain. They fought and came home to their families and began careers or continued in the military. Frank retired from the Navy (5 comments)
