60 years ago this Sunday was VJ day and I'm wondering if any of you
have/had relatives that took part in the war and have any quick
anecdotes to share from them.  I'll start:

My Grandmother and Grandfather had been married only a year before my
grandfather left for pilot training and was eventually stationed in
the South Pacific.  My Grandmother was pregnant with my Uncle and had
to move from rural MN around the country to different military housing
which was cheap and roach filled.

She relied on the kindness strangers to help her through that tough
time and, while my Grandfather was leave, got pregnant again with my
mother.  Luckily, despite a few close calls, my grandfather made it
home and they had a great life together.  He died in 1992.

Here's to the vets!  *clink*
