    Wow! That is really, really cool.....My parents were World War II era teenagers (graduated in 1945). My dad wanted to enlist when he graduated but he was 9 months too young, and his parents wouldn't give permission. I grew up hearing all of the stories and stuff.....That is really cool to have that insight into that era...So many of those men (and women, too, who served as nurses, etc) have passed on. God Bless your Grandpa!

    That will be very interesting! I have a journal my dad wrote in 1980 when he hitchhiked to Alaska, and I cherish it just because I can see the similarities between us. I am about the age he was when he wrote it.

    What a tremendous legacy! First-person accounts will only be found in writing, soon, so it's good you have this.

    That is pretty cool. I bet there is a lot of interesting information in that journal.
