He was in the "Long Rangers". The 13th AF, USAC. 307th bomb group out of
Morotai. Philipines, Borneo, Balikapapan. Many others. He never spoke
of it. I got copies of his medals, and have his photo album, complete
with his uniform medals and wings. Musta seen a lot.

I've read a little of why some people don't talk about war experiences. I
think the depth of trauma and needlessness of it all can hit hard. Nobody
knew any better back then so a lot of men of his generation were left to
cope. This is so sad..
