I am so glad you posted this! Back when Tom Brokaw's "Greatest Generation" book came out - I asked each of my parents to jot down some stories they had about their early years and now I keep these writings in my copy of the book. Mom was an RN and served on a USN ship off Italy during the war. My dad was in the Army Air Corp and this is when he met my mom. She is gone now and dad is 82.

at the term LOLLIES love it!
