    Glad to hear that the book is doing well. I remember a previous thread of yours telling about your Grandfather finally telling about his involvement in the War.

    Yup, no doubt very special.

    The man is my hero. He saw so much that no man should ever have to see, as most of them did. And like most, he just kept it all locked up inside for many, many years. I think he's finally come to accept that what he did was, in fact, something to be proud of. I know he wouldn't agree with me, but I call it heroic. I also think many of them are realizing that the world needs to hear their stories, it's history that changed the world forever. I think many hope that sharing the horror stories they lived through might help to open people's eyes in hopes of preventing a WWIII.
