My grandfather fought in WWII. He was a cook, too, so I think I remember hearing he never had to see the front lines.

Oh wow. Your pap was really lucky too.
(I wish I inherited my pap’s cooking skills…!)
He sure was! Also, I have his camera that he bought when he was in Germany for WWII.
That is very, very cool!
I wish I could get it to work…
