My Dad was a Korean war veteran, 8 months in combat in the Army. He did a tour in Germany after coming home from Korea. My grandfather was a WWI veteran and his two sons, my uncles, were WWII veterans. One was at the Battle of the Bulge. He never talked about his experience and got upset if anyone in the family ever ask him about his service. His brother's unit was about to be shipped out to the Pacific when the war ended. My Dad's brother was in the Air Force in the late 50's.
For those of us who never served it is hard to fully understand what the men who went to war experienced and how it effected their lives. I know I am eternally grateful for their sacrifices.
