I don't have the words to describe what our soldiers went through in France and Italy. They fought their way through adversity, weather, enemy, and terrain. A lot of blood wash shed in our endeavor to free Europe of it's evil tyrant. Hundreds and thousands faced impossible odds to help dismantle the Germany military and gain freedom for Europe.

Well, that picture of him shows a bronze star on his cap, so he must have done something.
The author is correct about the “not talking” part. My dad would never talk about it, except for one small piece when he told me why he wouldn’t visit me when I was stationed in Germany in the 70’s. He didn’t have the resentment, but he still had the memories.

Great share MSgt Neil Greenfield - The WWII Vets are truly America's "Greatest Generation". They saw hell on earth over there in Europe battling the Nazi's... & also fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. That's probably why they choose just to say, they "didn't do anything" so as to not remember those terrible days spent in battle. RIP to all the American Servicemembers lost in WWII and all our Nation's wars. All of you helped secure freedom for America and the Free World from tyranny.

Another reason they would say they “didn’t do anything”, is because back then, at their age most everybody had done something. If you tell your story, the person you’re telling it too had one right back at you. Which is too bad, because there’s a lot of history passing by when these vets die.
That’s not the case today where those that serve in a combat zone are a distinct and significantly small minority.
