D-Day +1

I think I remember D-Day.  I was 5 at the time, so any memories I have are sketchy at best.

I remember my cousins Tony and Johnny both being wounded in WWII.  Both were limited physically for the rest of their lives.  I also knew a lot of men who were forever changed by being in that war  --  even those who saw very little action (if any).  One never seemed to be able to get beyond his war experience.

In addition to the GI Bill making many good futures possible, and awful lot of survivors were never able to get beyond the experiences of the war.  It may have been a "good war" for us, it was never that for them.
