I think about this when I play SH3/GWX.

It brings me back to reality when i read about actual WW2 survivors and how scary it really was. You dad is a hero and we all owe him a debt. Its sad how few even think about WW2, but i always remember, its coulda turned out a whole lot different from where it finished. And if it wasnt for young americans and young brits we would be in a different world now.
