Looking around, interesting stuff here. I am interested in WWII history.
I have several family members who served in the war. My dad lost his brother
in the Market Garden mission. He was in the 101st Airborne.

Great! My father in law was also in the European Theater. The stories are few, as they did not talk much about the war. I do know my father in law was in a tank which transversed through Europe. I will need to get the information correct before I share the stories.
