I remember cakes and pies having unG0dly amounts of eggs and flour. It was staggering!!! All he did was bake and cook aboard ship unless they were in battle, then all the ship mates had a battle station. Unfortunately the men were forced to man those stations many times.

It's so amazing when you think about all those young people that gave so much for our country. So very much!!! Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />My husband's Dad was a World War I veteran. He joined when he was only 17 years old and served in Germany. His two sons also served. The older one in Korea and my husband during the Vietnam crisis although he was never deployed there, just earlier in France.<br /><br />I honor all who served in the military to pay for the freedom we enjoy in America!

Many of the people that came were good friends of my Grandparents and they would visit often at their house and I also got a chance to know them there too.

One day, they're barely considered adults (and many weren't--my dad lied abut his age to join the service and back then, they didn't seem to question those boys who claimed to be men), and the next, they're off fighting a war.
