Hey guy's sooo many great stories here.

I know this thread is pretty old. But...

One of my Grandfathers (who's name I use on this forum) served in the 5th Army Signal Corps, with the 63rd Signal Battalion, in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. Until he broke his back, runnning through an Italian street during and air raid. A big Greek soldier picked him up and carried him to saftey (he never knew the guys name.

Several Field Hospitals, and One Torpedoed ship later, He finaly got his release at a Daytona Beach Hospital.

My other Grandfather, who I don't know near as much about loadded ordnance in the Pacific Theater. Mostly Guam, the whole war.

Both joined in 1942.
