[QUOTE="04rider, post: 1398377, member: 88606"] Wow, great to see this. I hope your uncle is able to document his stories, or someone may do so on his behalf. My grandpa, who was a tank bow gunner and some times tank driver in Germany, died on this day three years ago, D Day. In my younger years, he said he didn't see a lot and that he was clean up. As I got older and he would tell a story or two at times, I realized he went through a lot more than he admitted. From booby trapped landmines that killed buddies to firefights that lit up the sky to even trying to ship German guns home to Grandma (confiscated at some point of course). These were remarkable men and let there be no doubt that remarkable military souls continue the legacy. Hope to hear more about your uncle and his service. [/QUOTE]
