Hi Norm
For young fellas like myself, tales such as yours are a real treat indeed.
Sadly, as each day goes on, we lose more and more of the stories forever as veterans make their way from this world.
Here in Canada, I believe that Veteran's Affairs or War Amps has launched a campain to visit and record veterans stories for generations to come.
On another note, I ask myself how many 17 and 18 year old punks of today could do what you guys did. Probably very few.
Think I know a few kids 'round town that I'd send off to dig mines...
