 seeing my father's uniforms, hearing about the war, his war experience. My mother was a very active military wife, so there were always things she was doing to reach out to the troops. My brother also got into the Air Force and was intelligence, a Russian linguist. And so it was always around me. I had a great appreciation. And my father was the head of the HNS for the 299th Combat Engineers that went in on Omaha Beach.
