My father was in the Navy during WWII and on a battleship in the Philippines. He never talked much about it. My mother was a Wave and telegraph operator off Hyannis. She never talked about it either.
My dad was in WWII. He was too nearsighted for combat, but his experience with what the "glorious battles" left behind prompted him to become a priest.

Was your father in World War II? He might have been peeling potatoes my grandfather grew on his parents' farm!
