He was such a gentle man but deep down it must have hurt him and his family for him and his brother to be back fighting in Germany. They must have still had family living over there. But like you said they felt they were Americans and had a new country worth fighting for. I can still see my Dad riding a horse in the Veteran Day parades, only then it was called Armistice Day.<br />Since he was both born and died on Nov.11, today is always a sad but grateful day of rememberance for me.
