- As a boomer born in 1954, I grew up in that shadow of greatness that these men and women acheived in saving the world in WWII. In 1972, I joined the 101st and served as a paratrooper to try to keep their heroics alive and to try, in some small way, albeit impossible, to be a little like them.

Hey Bob- My brother John McKee served in the 101 at Fort Campbell. He joined in '72 same as you. Maybe you knew him?
Our dad, Brad, fought in the South Pacific during WWII. I asked him once what he did in the war, he said he was on Kwadjelien Atoll and Roy and Nemour islands but thats about it. Like most of those guys, he never talked of the combat. He's gone now but only later did I find out how brutal the fighting was there. Seems like those WWII guys never like to talk much about it and us kids always want to hear about "the adventure".
Must not have really been much of an "adventure" for them.
