First of all, let me say, what a great topic. It is interesting the motivations why we play this game.

I was born in 1962 to a captian in the US Army, 30 year man.
My earliest memories are of my home growing up on base while he was in Tialand during the Vietnam war.

He served in all three WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, as a demolitions expert.

He didn't speak of his experiences, at all, I have no reference as to his career. My mother has shared portions of their time in Germany after the war, but very little.

I have always been fascinated with the machinery of war, but as a kid growing up didnt care for history that much.

As I got into my 20s and 30s the ETO became almost an obsession, and will watch read, study everything I can get my hands on.

I wonder if its me trying to in some way share my fathers experiences and to know him better.
