My dad never spoke a word about the war days. What little I learned was from my mom, who met my dad after he'd been wounded in the Phillipines. She was a nurse State side who tended his wounds. I will never forget her words to me before she passed, "This country (USA) will never be as unified in purpose again like it was in WW2." She was so right!

Yes, and it even took US awhile to become unified. We did become unified after 9/11 once again, but it did not last long, sadly.
