[QUOTE="HudsonFalcon, post: 16126514, member: 160895"] My grandfather was a WW2 vet and the typical badass patriarch you wanted as a role model when you were growing up. There was nothing he couldn't fix, no beer he wouldn't drink and no pack of cigarettes he wouldn't smoke. As I got older and more interested in history I decided to look up his battle history in hopes that he would share some of his experiences. He was assigned to a AAA gun battalion that landed on Normandy D-Day +20. One of the entries read that his battalion was strafed and bombed by an enemy fighter in the Bocage. When I asked my grandfather about it he said with a chuckle: "Oh yeah, I remember that son of a bitch. He couldn't hit nothin'." LOL. Typical grandpa and I'm sure typical for a lot of men and women from the greatest generation. He's buried close to us at The Saratoga National Battlefield. I visit him often.
