So many boys 18 and 19 years old, became men in an instant. One of my friends was in the Navy and was there that day, He was on a battleship and was "safe" out in the water as they blasted the defenses on the beach, and were strafed by aircraft. Like so many of those men, he did not talk much about that horrible day. He had a few pages of notes he wrote down shortly after the fact, and put them away and built a life and raised a family. His grandkids found the notes and were stunned to learn "granddaddy" had fought in the war. The kids made sure people knew his story.
I knew him from a computer club. The early days of DOS 2.0 and into the beginning of Windows. He loved computers, and was a great math tutor for lots of students.
