My mothers father was a radioman in a Sherman. Survived d day, got a purple heart in the bulge when an 88 hit his tank... lost one leg and his other foot. But married his nurse in the hospital afterwards!! He would never speak of the war.
Fathers father worked with werner von braum after ww2 to try and figure out just how the Germans were launching accurate missiles into England. Most of the missiles used in Vietnam were developed by him. Was also an advisor and present for most (if not all) of the early Apollo missions. Sadly, he passed away before I was born, never knew him.
