My mom and dad were both involved deeply in WWII. Dad was a Navy corpsman with the Marines in the South Pacific and saw some truly bad shit. My mom worked at the secret Oak Ridge (TN) atomic bomb plant refining uranium for the two bombs dropped on Japan. Oh the stories they told after the war. From what people told me who knew them in high school, neither one of them were the same after the war... dad had nightmares the rest of his life and his health was ruined in the jungles of the Pacific islands. Mom became less introspective and a true leader in our small community and the church.

My dad hated "the Japs" for the rest of his life.
Your parents and other Patriots responded with honor. It is the government that is dishonorable.
