[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2204905, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]U.S. Army veteran here (Jan. '66 to Oct. '69), nephew of 5 uncles that served in the Navy in WWII. I caught h*ll for going Army instead of Navy. In all the years of growing up around those uncles, I NEVER remember them EVER talking about the war. Sunday, while visiting family in Tulsa, we drove down to Muskogee to see the USS Batfish Memorial. Walking through that old war-boat and seeing the size of the interior and the beds (and where they were located) made me realize that those that served on the subs really sacrificed every luxury amenity that they may have known to live in conditions that were cramped as all get out. My commendations to those veterans that served before me. By comparison, my service was a luxury cruise. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
