Thanks for remembering those brave men. I was working at A.A.H.S. in June of 1994. Jack Kuhn was a van driver for the summer feeding program . I never met a more patriotic yet sincerely humble person than him.
Thank you for sharing the stories of these brave men. One of them you mentioned was Ron’s uncle. He told me that when the family would get together, his dad and his uncle would go off by themselves and reminisce about the war. These men and women truly exhibited a level of bravery and courage that many, including myself, find difficult to comprehend.
Brilliant post, Jim. Thanks for the valuable info. I'm reminded of when my English class read "The Greatest Generation" and I had my students bring photo of any of their relatives who'd served in WW2. My classroom at the time was HUGE, almost twice the size of an ordinary one. We posted all the photos (and other "post-able") memorabilia on three walls. The students also brought in other memorabilia like WW@ jackets, hats, posters borrowed from grandparents, etc. It was a wonderful project and we invited history classes to see it...as well as opened it up on Saturdays for their families to see the exhibit. One of my favorite memories of teaching English.
