In Reply to: My father and uncles posted by unclestu52 on August 4, 2006 at 00:27:05:
My father was sent into as tough a situation as any member of the military would face during WWII, and on numerous occasions. He was involved in many situations where they were undermanned and outnumbered. You have ZERO knowledge of what my father and his crew went through (only one survived besides my father) after being shot down for a THIRD time, nor what my father has been through in his life as the result of the torture and beatings experienced at the hands of the German officers and Nazi party members. Because of the extreme cruelty experienced at Stalag Luft III and Stalag Luft VIIa, and seeing many he knew killed upon the whim of the German soldiers, my father has dealt with severe psychological and physical war injuries all of his life. Being a POW still haunts him to this day. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in February 2006...on many days he doesn't recall anything familiar in his life...but he ALWAYS remembers that he was in a German Prison camp.I'll leave you with a quote from General Patton, which he made on April 29, 1945, the day he liberated my father and many POWs at Stalag Luft VIIa: "Your country is grateful for your service and regrets the severe cruelty you have experienced at the hands of these ignorant bastards. You have EVERY right to despise these cowards the rest of your life."
My father is entitled to his feelings. So am I. If you don't like 'em, don't read 'em.
