[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2813477, member: 101791"] I had friends and a dad that were in world war 2. My dad was in the Navy and serviced as a weatherman. 3 men were in the army and 1 was with the tanks that went in at Battle of the Bulge. 1 was airborne. Not sure what Div he was in. He jump in Normady and other places too. he had brought home a thompsons and a german Machine gun. Never said anything about it until now. He's been long dead and gone. The tanker was buck sergeant. He told me that he was given orders to tanke 35 pensioner to the POW camp. Be back in 15 minutes. The POW camp was 45 miles away. He was back in 15 minutes. My dad die at age 60 from lung problem from the shipyards at :Long Beach. He was station there for 18 months. Work for Kaiser welding on ships durntng that time. He would be on board ship for 24hrs, and off for 24hrs. He would weld for about 18 hrs of that time. It killed him in the long run. All of them were good men and work hard after the war. I had a cousins that was in 1 & 2 in the navy. One ship shot out from under him. He had one arm about 2" shorter than the other. No I don't think they would like what's gong on today. [/QUOTE]
