Of Lessons Learned: 2nd Edition- Six Years Later
Six years ago, I interviewed my father to share his experience as a sailor during World War 2. He was in his eighties, and I wanted to have a memoir to share with family and friends. As he talked, he began sharing stories and memories that no one, not even his wife of 60 years remembered. He taught me the meaning of "the greatest generation," what it meant to him to take care of others, and how important a lesson we all should learn regarding a generation that is slowly fading away.

Quick read and great lessons
This was a pleasure to read. As a current day Army soldier it is always an honor to read the stories of “the greatest generation” with an appreciation of those who have gone before me. Thank you for sharing this!
