[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2364197, member: 8373"] My grandfather, William "WB" Blaine Glover landed on Omaha beach and later was in the Battle of the bulge. He caught a mortar shell on day one and spent the rest of his life with shrapnel in his neck and leg. I recently saw his discharge papers, he spent at least a year in the Army after the Bulge. He was a sharpshooter, was the only guy in his platoon that could hit the bullseye at 300 yards. He rarely talked about the war, I know very little. What I do know is that while he was in the mash unit, he watched a rocket come straight for him and just before it hit, it veered off sharply hit somewhere else. He thought we was done at that moment. He was hard on my mom and uncles, but he loved his family very much and I miss him very much. It has been 19 years since he passed at 90. [/QUOTE]
