" I was just old enough (5) to remember Pearl Harbor "
Wow. That was before my time. I did have a cousin killed at Pearl Harbor, and had an uncle that was on a destroyer at Midway & Coral Sea. He would not talk much about it. Although he might relate something funny that happened, or talk about getting boxes of cookies, or cornbread from home. Those guys really went through it.

I had a bunch of older cousins that served in WWII,but only one who was shot down over Germany.
I served with a lot of WWII vets in the mid 50's (they were our top NCO's), who enjoyed scaring us troops with war stories whenever a cold war 'crisis' developed.
