operators and field medics were high on the enemy list, so our dads would have been valued targets. One of my uncles was killed in that battle which was the largest and bloodiest single battle of WWII. Makes me shudder to think of all the horror they experienced. Glad to virtually meet you, fellow daughter of a charter member!
