I'm so glad you posted this. When I was in school, I disliked history class. Now that I'm older it's very meaningful to look back and gain some understanding of what happened in the past and how everyday people were impacted. Thank you for sharing.
Well done, your grandfather, my dad, enlisted in the Navy in early 1942 but was deemed too old to go overseas. Instead he taught sailors how to swim and rose to the rank of Lieutenant, J.G., a rare feat for an enlisted man.
