Good morning all,
Subj: "Discuss your experience..."
My late father served in WWII (w/ MacArthur in ATO) and Korean War.
My experience was that much was discussed re WWII w/ my uncles, neighbors......just about all men in my life served in WWII.
I heard little about the Korean War. Discussions when I was around....I was single digits years old.... were in hushed voices.
My mention of this is crucial to understanding how I view the Korean War in particular and the Cold War in general.
Warm regards,
Bob
