Papa Strutts was too young for WWII, but he served in the Navy during the Korean War. We grew up listening to Victory At Sea.
The missus’ Uncle Harry was in the Army and was in Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Once he realized that the attack was not a drill he dove under the first large object he could find. After the bombing and the strafing stopped, he learned that the big large object was a fully loaded ammo truck.
