I'm a "baby boomer", didn't arrive on the scene until '51.
My wife's father was a US Army infantry man in Italy & Germany, he would never talk about his experiences, I do know he received two purple hearts. My mother-in-law worked at the Curtis Wright propeller factory.
Dad was in the Navy in the Pacific, he was the only man on deck on ARB-9, USS Ulysses in the typhoon at Buckner Bay in the Philipines. He whitnessed a mine sweeper slice a 8' gash in the side of his ship.
Mom's younger brother was killed at the Battle of the Bulge.
