If anyone wants a real eye-opener, be there when a group of WWII vets see each other for the first time in close to 40 years, most of them having been shot down and thinking that the others were probably dead. My dad was one of the people in the 94th Bomb Group's 'Search & Rescue' and he found some of the guys he was stationed with, so he invited them to the house. One lived in Chicago, I don't remember where another lived, but one lived less than 4 miles from us.
