"Joe, you and your dad were in WWII at the same time? " Yes, my Dad was on his way home after being badly wounded in France via a Hospital ship at the same time I was going over to France. Possibly crossing each other. My brother was also in the ETO as a Air Corps gunner on a B-25. Only my mother was left home. My Dad also served in France in WW 1. He was not a career soldier. He served from 1914 to 1920 and then in WW 2 from 1942 until his C.D.D discharge in 1945. (Certificate of Disability Discharge from the hospital). Having multiple family members serving
(including fathers and sons) during WW 2 was not unusual.
