Paul,
It is refreshing in a way. In an age where people get trophy's for
participating I admire the stoic old coots.
I know they may have suffered for their silence, but it was their way.
My wife's step father was a PT Boat crewman in the Pacific. I think I have written this before: when I can get him to talk about his experiences, he is always the foil, never did anything remotely brave.
Sure
