Posted November 11th, 2012 - 10:47 pm by  from Daejeon, South Korea (Permalink)My Dad was 15/16 when he left for the war. He came back, and at 89 he is one of the youngest Veterans left. I cannot imagine being thrown into a war zone at the age of 16. He served his country (Canada) well, and I am proud of him.
Posted November 12th, 2012 - 2:54 pm by  from Langley, United States (Permalink)My father was a Merchant Marine. Yes, he was one of those on the ships who ran supplies, brought back the dead and injured, etc. My mother, a new bride, was glad he had such a "safe" job: it wasn't until after the war and he came home that she found out there were more Merchant Marines killed tan Marines!
