Thank you so much for your reply. You put into words exactly what I have felt. There ARE others who would like to hear these stories. They did not go through what they did in vain. I feel it is a way to honor what they did live through and some died for. It amazes me how the ball keeps rolling as far as my own research. The Veteran I mentioned in a post above here persuaded me to talk to my Grandpa Fuller who was in the Navy during WWII. I had been so busy asking my grandpa about his grandpa in the Civil War that I never asked him about his own experiences. Once I did bring it up with him, the stories came flowing. I learned he was one of the first American groups to land at Nagasaki right after the bombs. Hearing his own descriptions is gut renching. He spoke of witnessing the Japanese dump their weapons in the sea and traveling past Pearl Harbor after the attack. I could go on and on. I do understand what you are saying ole. I could not agree more! Thank you.
