MY FATHER SERVED FOR THREE YEARS IN BOTH THEATERS, EUROPEAN AND PACIFIC, AS A MEDIC. HE PARTICULARLY REMEMBERS THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE, AND THE DIFFERENT FAMILIES THAT HE STAYED WITH IN GERMANY AND JAPAN AFTER THE WARS HAD ENDED IN EACH AREA. HE ALSO RECALLS INCIDENTS IN BASIC TRAINING AND STORIES CONCERNING BEING IN THE TROOP TRANSPORT SHIPS DURING WWII. EVEN THOUGH HE HAS NOT SEEN HIM IN 60 YEARS HE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK CARL CASH, A WWII VETERAN AS WELL, FOR TEACHING HIM HOW TO DRIVE AN ARMY TRUCK.
