Thread: Check out my Dad's interveiw about WWII

    Check out my Dad's interveiw about WWII

    The local news station interviewed my Dad a while back about his service in the Navy during WWII. It is going to be in the Library of Congress in Washington,D.C. Pretty neat I think. Here is the link to the web site.

    If you click on the little red camera above the pictures of him there is a video to watch,

    "They sent me on down there for the atomic bomb test. They wanted to know what it would do to surface ships. All they did was tell us to turn our heads and of course the mushroom cloud went up and you feel the shockwave and all."
    WTF!!! Your Dad must be freakin indestructible. I think its cool that his story will be now part of history... I wish my grandfather was alive to tell his stories of IndoChina before the war and battles like Pelilu and give his bit of history to the library... Quite a generation.

    Always good to see recognition given and remembering those who have served. I usually still try and call everyone I know who has served on Veterans Day. My father always tries to downplay it and says that our entire family made the sacrifice, although it is still important to me that he knows that looking back it was likely the best upbringing I could have asked for, and he deserves the recognition for making that commitment.

    You should be proud, as I am sure you are.

    My dad was an infantry Sergeant in Europe during WWII so I share your admiration for that generation. You're dad seems like one tough SOB. Nice to see him get the recognition he has earned.
    There's really no point in listening to other People. They're either going to be agreeing with you or saying stupid stuff. Dogbert

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate ya'll humoring me and checking it out. Yes I am quite proud of him and everything he did and has done in his life.

    I'll show this thread to my Dad next time I go down. He will get a kick out of a bunch of guys he doesn't even know bragging on him. This is just another of the reasons I love this place.

    You just may want to not log in for the members section, as when he learn's ssmokin' is another honorable Vet, he may want to see his pictures. :laugh:

    I remember the earlier article about Sssmokin', may want to forward that on to him.
