Yeah it wasn't a real warm welcome when you were on leave or when you got discharged you were kind of a piece of crap. The gal I decided to marry while I was in the Army, which was a bad choice, was screwing "Jody" my best friend while I was OS in Germany for 5 months. All my old friends were still the same people but I wasn't, for some reason 3 years in the Army kind of changed me. The only thing I missed was going to Nam, Maybe it was a good thing because I woulda probly got killed while I was stoned out of my mind but since I joined the Army right after I turned 17 they couldn't send me there and they sent me to Alaska which was 19 months then they had to send me stateside for at least 30 days cause AK was considered overseas after a 30 day leave then they sent me to Germany cause I didn't have time left to go to Nam or they would've sent me there. Don't know if that was good luck or bad luck. I had a lot of friends who had been there and it would've probably really changed me.
My dad was a WWII vet. He volunteered and ended up a military photographer. As such he was attached to many different branches of the service in many many hotspots during the War.
Some of the pictures everyone sees in D-Day documentarys are his. He was with a group when they liberated a concentration camp.
I know he was wounded at least once though not how. I found the purple heart in a drawer in his desk in the basement when I was a kid.
He would never speak of the war. Not at all.
When he passed mom found a huge box of pictures of the "camps" in the attic. She wanted to throw them out. I convinced her to give them to the holocaust museum.
He is gone now as are so many of the greatest generation. Today is for him and all the others who came home forever changed or did not come home at all.

So glad you convinced her! They're horrible, but something that needs to be remembered, and not lost! Salute to your dad!
Oh and by me joining probably helped me since I would've had a low number in 68 and in 69 I was 91. So they would've got me in 68 more then likely. Yeah I just checked if they didn't get me in 68 they would have got me in 69 they used the 1st 195 numbers and if you were US you know where your going.

My dad had a lot of those kinds of pics from World War II..or was it I
...they were horrifying.... gas chambers, live men that looked like skeletons... don't know why he kept them, but I'm sure he had valid reasons...
For those that don't know we had serial numbers, if you joined in the Army you were RA stood for Real Ahole if you got drafted your number started with US.
As I was lying on the couch watching the Yankees play the Blue Jays, I saw the sunset tonight was kinda purdy so I went outside and took a pitcha. It's been raining most of the day but started to clear this afternoon. Good basketball game coming up at 9 on TNT!
Don't think I have said here:
Thank you to all you veterans! Some of my friends who came back from Nam only physically came back. Several were scared for life mentally. And treated like scum.

A little more upbeat...
