I'm new here to this forum and I LIKE WHAT I SEE HERE ! My dads dad was in the 32nd infantry Division, moms dad was 82nd Airborne. My dads dad thought that a man did not cry in front of his friends, or more importantly, in front of his family. I myself only saw him cry once in my 21 years on this earth, and he was speaking of his buddies. He was an orphan and he lived with an abusive aunt and uncle who in thier eyes, was only a farmhand and worker. So when he was able, he left and joined the Army. He said that until he married my grandmother and had his family, that his buddies WERE HIS FAMILY. He never spoke much about them, but when he did, you could see his eyes watering and hear his voice almost breaking. I thank God for him and his buddies everyday.
