That's sad, but understandable. My B-17 pilot uncle never spoke of the war except a bit of it to my dad...some pretty horrible stuff. No doubt, your dad was the same. Just too painful to talk about horrors seen.

Matthew...the Bastogne walk sounds amazing. Bastogne was well covered in this series...those guys dug in the forested area were representing Easy Company...the original foxholes remain...kept so by the locals. Bastogne was important, and I'm not trying to diminish that, but it wasn't the entire battle. Often the importance of air power and the bravery of other units aren't given the credit they deserve. Do watch the series I linked...it gives a much larger picture.
