218. my grandfathers both served, one in German, one in Italy
the one in Italy got shot in the groin through the keyhole of a door. He used to tell stories all the time about what he did there.
The other got his kneecap blown off. That was my dad's dad. He came home from the war and got addicted to heroin. He also lived in Brooklyn, right underneath the flight pattern from JFK airport. The sounds of the planes flying overhead bothered him so much that he had to sleep on the floor or else he'd freak out and knock himself off the bed every night. He never talked about his experience in the war.
