[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1653364, member: 39122"] My grandpa whom I grew up next to and spent many hours with as a kid and whom I idolized was drafted for WW2, he landed at Normandy beach I believe 14 days after D-Day. He was an infantryman in Patton's 3rd Army. He was awarded a bronze star for bravery. Orval Faubus, former Arkansas governor, served in Patton's 3rd Army as well as an officer. Faubus wrote a book called "In this far away land". It was mostly a diary he had kept during the war. I enjoyed reading it to kinda get a visual of where my grandpa had been and what he might've been doing. They're not called the greatest generation for nothing. My grandpa was tough as a boot hill. Any time I feel I'm pretty tough, I look at what that generation endured, both men and women, and I feel like a wimp. As I said I idolized the man and still do, I try to do things like he done it and live a similar lifestyle. I even named my son after him who plans to name his son the same thing. I was an only child and lived next to my grandparents so I spent alot of time with him and his friends and learned alot of their ways. [/QUOTE]
