1. No but my buddy Harry is 88 and was in the Battan Death march.

He still cries when he talks about it. Great guy. Got all his marbles. He does go on the internet but just to buy and sell coins and stamps.. He hates Bush and barely likes Kerry. I see him at the coffee shop. I know why they call it the greatest generation. He is the greatest guy. Gets a decaf and a bran muffin everyday for himself and brings one back for the missus. He won't pay for a newspaper and curses if I pay for one. Something about guys that came of age through the depression.

2. No, but my Dad was

fought in the pacific theater. My Dad became an expert on WW2 after the war. He read everything ever published about it. He became fascinated with Nazi Germany. And he was a Jew!

My uncle lied about his age (16 at the time) and found himself stuck in a foxhole during the battle of the bulge.

5. Mine, too

in the Bulge along with your uncle, but 10 years older. Artillery instructor in GA who got put together with a brand new Infantry Unit as the Co HQ Sgt. (75th Div.) sent into thick of the Bulge - scary shit - don't know much other than caught behind enemy lines at one point(!) huge casualty rates (ordnance AND frostbite) No camo for winter (even tho that's when they deployed), so had to beg/take white sheets from local farms.

Liberated a camp and each kept pics "so no one could claim it never happened..." He's gone now, but I shudder to think how he must regard Abu Ghraib.
