Re: HOLLANDIA (JAYAPURA) in 1944
Hello fellas,
I'm doing well and feeling well, the weather will be in the high 70's today out here, looks to be a perfect day. Sorry to hear about the snow Scott.
Lefty, people were respectful who saw you in uniform, or knew you had been overseas. There was a job to do and we did it, at a terrible cost to everyone involved. Those who came home would be working at putting it behind them for the rest of their lives, it can ignored to an extent, but it's always there. I measure my accomplishments from war's end to the present. I think I mentioned family conversations a few times before on this thread, I would partially answer questions, my wife would tell the kids not to ask me about the war. My oldest came close to asking me the one question that's always lurking, "How many?".
