I don...wow, I have to go back and revisit the book. I don't recall his take on the WWI generation. Speaking of Grandpa Jack. Twice a year we drive past Camp Douglas in WI. That's where Jack was stationed when he was deployed to the Mexican Boarder (Pancho Villa) and when he was shipped to France for the war to end all wars. There's a WI Nat. Guard Museum with all the records. I need to stop and check that out.<BR/>I wonder how the WWII generation felt about the WWI generation.<BR/>Interesting twist, thanks Donna!Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00701587443784003004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167312516524906768.post-69877983830919214112007-09-21T06:45:00.000-05:002007-09-21T06:45:00.000-05:00People rise to the occasion.

I had the same feeling about Grandpa Jack, realizing he was part of the Trench action in France in the First War. How does Brokaw deal with that generation in his book?Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676875180314731232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167312516524906768.post-62175857633971645362007-09-20T23:47:00.000-05:002007-09-20T23:47:00.000-05:00Gosh, can't see why that didn't woo her. . . .Gosh, can't see why that didn't woo her. . . .Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729503147294461398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167312516524906768.post-36259569793377756102007-09-19T14:58:00.000-05:002007-09-19T14:58:00.000-05:00called Kim "Ki"did nothing for mecalled Kim "Ki"<BR/><BR/>did nothing for meDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00701587443784003004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167312516524906768.post-4469287643097487342007-09-19T13:52:00.000-05:002007-09-19T13:52:00.000-05:00Aw shucks. . .you had me at "Ang"By the way, you k...Aw shucks. . .you had me at "Ang"<BR/><BR/>By the way, you know that's how I KNEW that Mark was the one, right?
