2 of my great grandparents fought in WW2, each on a different front. One was at Pearl Harbor and The Battle Of Coral Sea but he managed to avoid any injury. The other was at the Battle Of The Bulge where he got shot and waited in a ditch for hours until he got rescued.Does your family history have any interesting WW2 stories?
