re: What family members of yours fought in WWII?

I know every family has a "crazy uncle" in its closet, and mine had Uncle Oscar. Uncle O was on a sub at Pearl Harbor & the stories he told bout that experience had us crying & laughing every time he retold them. He said the whole sub had partied hard the nite before, a Sat. nite, most of the non officers were massively hung over. He said that day caused more than a few to swear off drinking the rest of their lives, and most stuck to it, at least during the war. Another uncle was a Marine & he never ever talked bout his experiences on Guadacanal.Hated the Japs till the day he died. He brought home some official Marine war photos that my cousin found & they were incredibly gruesome. Some of the flame thrower pics were really really bad. Makes one wonder why they all did not suffer from PTSS after the war.
