Hunting Wife
Well-known member
My great uncle, WWII. Served with the 163rd Infantry, and died in New Guinea in May 1944. For the rest of her life my grandma could never talk about him without choking up. I inherited his hunting rifle, with orders to take it hunting. So I did.
I don’t have any pics here of my grandpa. He volunteered the day after Pearl Harbor, at 17 years old. Served in the Navy aboard a minesweeper, mostly in the Pacific. He never really would talk about it, other than to say there were a few times sweeping mines that he thought they were going to die. I wish I would have asked more questions when he was here.
Happy Veteran’s Day, and thank you, to all here who have served.
