In Memory of my grandfather-WWII Vet

[skeeter4206]

Yeah my grandfather never would talk about it. I know he wasnt in the thick of it and seen what some others saw. But, when you would ask he would just get this look and get quiet. You knew then not to get asking.

I do have other family members that I know were in WWII. One was Sgt. Leon Rowe on my fathers side of the family who I know was in Africa and then was sent into italy. I never knew them, but I sure would like to know his stories. There was another one Howard Johnson that was in the Navy that was a cook, but was on a few different ships in the pacific war. I knew of him when I was real little, but never knew anything about him. He still has a daughter alive that I recently spoke with that she says she has all kinds of stuff of his. She said he wrote a paper on his time in the war. I'd love to read it.
